Curt's Research Papers

The papers available from this page are available in both postscript and pdf format. The pdf files are smaller and can be viewed on your screen before printing using the freely available Acrobat Reader from Adobe. I recommend that you load these documents to disk and then print them to your postscript printer. The thesis has some large screen dumps that require a printer with a good amount of memory to print. If you are getting print errors this is undoubtedly the problem.

Read The Abstract

Note: There are some large screen dumps in this document that cause printers with little memory to get errors. You should try to print it on a printer with more memory. If that doesn't work, send email to iovine@cs.colorado.edu (Francesca Iovine) and ask her nicely to send you a hardcopy of the thesis. Referencing the tech report number may help.
