Mark Harman's Publications
The papers listed here can be obtained for free. They may not be quite the final version as published by the publisher (for various reasons), but should be pretty close. The full text of the papers is provided as a convenience; the definitive versions are those maintained by the publishers in their archives.

Keynotes and Invited Talks

Often keynote talks are accompanied by an invited paper for the proceedings. Where this is the case, these are marked as "keynote paper" and the title of the talk is linked to the full text of the associated paper. Where I am invited to supplement my keynote with a paper in this way, I write the paper from scratch for that venue and seek to include new ideas and material in each such paper. Many of these keynote papers describe ideas and future avenues of research on which I plan to work or on which I would like to see work done, if only I could find the right collaborators, students or post docs with whom to work. If, having read the papers, that sounds like you, then please do send me and email and let's discuss it.

Ten years after we published it, our paper was blatantly plagiarised. In 2005 an almost verbatim copy was published by another author. If you are interested in examples of astoundingly blatant plagiarism, you can check our 1995 IPL paper against the plagiarised version by P. K. Mishra, which appeared in 2005 (complete with fake self-citations). It is not the only paper I have authored that has been plagiarised, but it is the most blatant to date. This case of plagiarism has been reported to Elsevier, which publishes IPL and which took it up with the offending journal (the International Journal of Information and Management Sciences (IJIMS)). IJIMS published the paper (IJIMS Volume 16, Number 2, pp.35-46), and still makes it available (last checked 18th January 2015), despite being notified of the offence.

Miscellaneous

(A rather quaint old computer game), Sunshine publications, 1983.
After more than three decades, through the magic of emulation, you can still play this game using a Spectrum Vega console, which comes preloaded with 1,000 old 1980s Spectrum games (including Sword Fight at Midnight). The Vega console is available from Amazon: Sinclair-ZX-Spectrum-Vega-Console, and is covered in a WIRED article on the strange phenomenon of retro computing.
