AIACC Working Paper Series

AIACC Working Papers is a series of working papers produced by researchers participating in the AIACC project. The papers published in AIACC Working Papers have been peer reviewed and accepted for web publication as being (i) fundamentally sound in their methods and implementation, (ii) informative about the methods and/or findings of new research, and (iii) clearly written for a broad, multi-disciplinary audience. The purpose of the series is to circulate results and descriptions of methodologies from the AIACC project and elicit feedback to the authors.
