Creative and compelling theoretical formulations of the archive have emerged from a host of disciplines in the last decade. Derrida and Foucault, as well as many other humanists and social...

The Symbolic Value of Libraries in a Digital Age (2001)

Manoff, Marlene

As an increasingly virtual society anticipates the decline of print, it looks to the keepers of the written record to maintain continuity with its past. Libraries cannot formulate intelligent...

Automated Verification of Shape and Size (2007)

Nguyen, Huu Hai, David, Cristina, Qin, Shengchao, Chin, Wei Ngan

Despite their popularity and importance, pointer based programs remain a major challenge for program verification. In this paper, we propose an automated verification system that is concise, precise...

Characterizing Protein Conformation Space (2007)
