The list of papers here is unfinished. Each link should be
to a web page where the full text of the paper can be found. In many
cases, other interesting papers are on these web pages also. Participants
in the seminar should feel free to propose papers not on the list here,
if these other papers are certainly good and worthwhile to present.
The papers listed here are definitely interesting and worhwhile.
