SIS - Articles and Journal Papers

Editor: Thompson Teo

Our intention is to maintain a list of articles and journal papers that covers the broad territory of SIS. We are particularly interested in electronic materials about SIS that are available on the Web. Have you seen a good SIS article or journal paper re cently? Are there definitive papers you consider should be added to this list? If you have, then please write to me about it. Publishers please send me examination copies. If I find value, I will write something here.
