SELECTED PAPERS IN ENGLISH WITHOUT FULL FORMAL ANONYMOUS PEER REVIEW

It is possible that new papers were published after the last update of this Web page (see the date at the bottom line), but they are yet to be included on this Web page. Note that this Web page does not list publications in languages other than English - they are listed in the PDF file Vladimir Tosic - Full Curriculum Vitae. Additionally, publications in English that were peer-reviewed or have particular importance are listed on Web pages Vladimir Tosic - Selected Peer-Reviewed Papers, Vladimir Tosic - Invited Papers and Keynotes, Vladimir Tosic - Tutorials, and Vladimir Tosic - Edited Volumes. Reprints of all publications are available upon request by e-mail with "Request for Your Research Publications" in the Subject line. You might also wish to search the NICTA Publications Database using my family name as the search term.
