PUBLICATIONS OF THEO PAVLIDIS

The notation GC: followed by a number stands for Google Citations. It is number of citations obtained from Google Scholar as of January 11, 2014. (In the case of books it is only for the original English version.) I have included the data only when the count exceeds 100, except in a few cases where the paper has a particular importance to me (such as my first paper on Pattern Recognition).
