Notes:
- Some peer-reviewed conference papers in computer-science related areas have a lot of value and prestige (as pointed out in this CRA best practices memo). Thus, this page lists both proceedings papers and journal articles together.
- Some papers are in areas unrelated to the current focus of the ACCESS Lab; nevertheless these are listed because of the involvement of current ACCESS Lab members.
