Design of a recovery network in Portugal: the electric and electronic equipment case."
IEEE Internationa Engineering Management Conference, Europe. Estoril, Portugal 2008. 459-463.
AbstractAn European directive established that all EU countries must have, until the end of 2006, a recovery network for the electric and electronic equipment waste (WEEE). In Portugal, a group of producers formed a non-profit organization to design and manage this waste now. In this work, a model developed previously by the authors to design and plan a generic WEEE network is presented and applied to the Portuguese case. The results obtained are discussed and compared with the network that is currently operating.

Developing Libraries Using Software Transactional Memory."

AbstractSoftware transactional memory (STM) is a promising programming model that adapts many concepts borrowed from the databases world to control concurrent accesses to main memory (RAM) locations. This paper aims at discussing how to support apparently irreversible operations within a memory transaction.

Higher order asymptotic formulas for traces of Toeplitz matrices with symbols in Hölder-Zygmund spaces."
Recent Advances in Matrix and Operator Theory. Operator Theory: Advances and Applications, 179. Eds. Joseph A. Ball, Yuli Eidelman, William J. Helton, Vadim Olshevsky, and James Rovnyak. Basel: Bikhäuser, 2008. 185-196.
AbstractWe prove a higher order asymptotic formula for traces of finite block Toeplitz matrices with symbols belonging to Hölder-Zygmund spaces. The remainder in this formula goes to zero very rapidly for very smooth symbols. This formula refines previous asymptotic trace formulas by Szegő and Widom and complement higher order asymptotic formulas for determinants of finite block Toeplitz matrices due to Böttcher and Silbermann.

Higher-order asymptotic formulas for Toeplitz matrices with symbols in generalized Hölder spaces."

AbstractWe prove higher-order asymptotic formulas for determinants and traces of finite block Toeplitz matrices generated by matrix functions belonging to generalized Hölder spaces with characteristic functions from the Bari-Stechkin class. We follow the approach of Böttcher and Silbermann and generalize their results for symbols in standard Hölder spaces.
