Copyright notice

This page contains all of Dan Grossman's academic publications. It is available in several formats. You are currently viewing:

• Full Bibliography [Switch to Titles and Abbreviated Venues]
• Some Links Hosted by the ACM Digital Library [Switch to All Links Hosted by Dan]
• Purely Reverse Chronological [Switch to Separate Categories (Journal, Conference, Workshop, Other)]

Why are ACM Digital Library links the default? [hide answer]

There are many reasons: The ACM DL is the archival location for papers published in ACM journals and conferences. ACM is the copyright holder and ACM prefers links to point to the DL. The DL has useful information like reverse citations. It also counts downloads. Each SIG (special-interest group) gets some money based on how many times papers from the conferences it sponsors are downloaded, so downloading the papers from the DL helps SIGPLAN.

On the other hand, not everyone has ubiquitous DL access, so all the papers are also available for free for everyone by choosing, "All Links Hosted by Dan."

Why are so many formats available?
