Jennifer Widom's Publications

Jennifer Widom's Publications Please excuse the retro formatting.
This page was created back in early days when raw HTML was the norm, for those of us who actually made web pages back then.
I haven't bothered to modernize it, figuring it's the content that actually counts.
