Publications

Below I am listing papers that have been (will shortly be) published in conference proceedings or journals. Similar lists can be found on DBLP and Google Scholar. I am also listing working papers.

Note: I have been working in fields in which publications in conference proceedings are valued comparably high to those in journals. Nevertheless I am usually preparing a journal version of my conference papers. Further, authors are usually ordered alphabetically. (Publication marked with an asterisk exempted from this paragraph.)
