Below are some of the publications the CDPS group and its members have produced in the last few years. Included are papers and technical reports available on line as well as references to publications that are not available for one reason or another (e.g., books).

Papers are generally available in one or more of the following forms: hypertext (HTML), PostScript, or a hardcopy Technical Report from the UNH Department of Computer Science (Kingsbury Hall, Durham, NH 03824, USA) or the University of Maine Department of Computer Science (5752 Neville Hall, Orono, ME 04469-5752), depending on which institution published the TR. The HTML forms were produced by the LaTeX2HTML translation program.
