I am making most of my publications available as PDFs with the exception of recently submitted papers (only until they are accepted for publication). Many of these publications are also stored in the University of Canterbury Research Repository. You can also have a look at my Google Scholar profile, which contains citation information.
The following list includes papers in scientific journals, book chapters and papers in conferences. Readers are entitled to download the papers and abstracts for personal use, but can not modify or republish this material somewhere else. Capice? Preprints represent the state of the article just before publication, and do not contain any amendments. I scanned some papers for which I did not have the original electronic file; they are indicated as PDF image.
