I no longer maintain an exhaustive list of my publications. The easiest ways to stay up to date with them would be to scope out my CV, or to check out Google Scholar, or DBLP as it provides a reasonably up-to-date list of my publications, including links to electronic copies of the articles from publisher sites.
