Rice PLT: Publications

This archive contains freely available technical reports and published papers, as well as PhD dissertations, written by members of the Rice Programming Languages Team. Tech reports are official Rice Technical Reports; papers are final versions of published conference or journal papers. Most papers are available in both DVI format and PostScript format, and are compressed using the GNU gzip(1) utility. Some papers may reference non-standard DVI fonts, so the PostScript versions are preferable if you have a PostScript printer. To report problems, please use the links at the bottom of the page.

Note: Some people have complained of problems when they try to read these documents in their Web browser (by just clicking on the links). This doesn't appear to be due an error in our server configuration, but rather due to browser misconfiguration. The documents should have a MIME content type of PostScript or DVI, as appropriate, and a content encoding of x-gzip. Browsers sometimes ignore the encoding. If you have this problem, please try to find someone who can help you configure the browser; until then, you can always save the documents to file first, uncompress them, and manually invoke the appropriate document browser.

©: The documents contained in this archive are included by the contributing authors as a means to ensure timely dissemination of scholarly and technical work on a non-commercial basis. Copyright and all rights therein are retained by the authors or by other copyright holders, notwithstanding that they have offered their works here electronically. All persons copying this information are expected to adhere to the terms and constraints invoked by each paper's copyright. Unless explicitly noted to the contrary, these works may not be reposted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.

A BibTeX file with entries for many the papers listed herein is available. It also explains the relationship between some of these papers. (Note: This file is no longer being actively maintained. If you need a bib file entry, please contact us.)
