1 I define "selective publications" as papers, at least 6 pages in length, that appear in journals or conferences with < 35% acceptance rate, with at least two written referee reports, and that are distributed to > 200 people or libraries. Or conference papers which, because of their importance, are later chosen to be included in widely distributed books.

2 Other Other Workshops are those with minimal reviewing standard, but where full papers are published. University technical reports, and workshops/conferences (e.g. SPIE) where only abstracts are published are not included in this CV.
