Bibliography


N.B. Bibliographical entries are given in Chicago Bibliographical Style. The complete Bibliography is also available in Zotero: see EnCAB on Zotero for the complete group (including entries to be reviewed) and EnCAB Cited Sources on Zotero for the entries below. For data durability, the Zotero entries are periodically backed up within the EnCAB Master branch on GitHub in BibTex format. Note also that the citations below do not mean that the individual articles or books have been exhaustively examined for algorithms - the list includes also secondary bibliographical references which have not been further examined. The Zotero EnCAB group differentiates between works completely examined and secondarily cited works.
