Publications

My CV, which includes a list of publications, with pointers to some (mostly recent) papers.

I edited a book, on Markov Decision Processes, together with Eugene Feinberg.

Miscellenia

Together with Jim Gillis, we have developed some software to help Associate Editors with their duties. This is tailored especially for IEEE Automatic Control, but can be easily modified to accomodate other publications. This package was used for IEEE Automatic Control, IEEE Communications, IEEE Information Theory, SIAM J. Control Optimization, Stochastic Processes and their Applications, and probably some other journals. The package is called CARS, and the main package, CARS.mail , includes the manual (J. Gillis and A. Shwartz, “The CARS software package,” SRC, University of Maryland, August 1991). Additional files can be found in the same directory.

Preprints of other works are also available:
