arXiv.org: +500,000 Full & Free Papers Online

arXiv recently got mentioned at Slashdot, as they now have more than 500.000 papers freely available online. The focus lies on on Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology and Statistics. I bookmarked a few of their recent papers as ‘toread’ – all from the Computer Science section – and posted them here for a personal reminder.

If this sounds interesting to you, then click through to the site, or the papers below. You also might want to add the Physics arXiv Blog to your RSS reader.
