Lav R. Varshney - Unpublished Writings

These documents were collected as I consolidated the flotsam and jetsam on my computer. Note that the selection is based on my level of interest in looking back on these documents, not on any quality assessment. They are here mostly for my own reference, but if you find them interesting, feel free to read them.
