the author gratefully acknowledges the support of DARPA, the NSF, the AFOSR, and the ONR; of course, that doesn't mean they endorse what is written. neither does the university of pennsylvania. in fact, i don't think anyone except me and a few coauthors endorse the opinions expressed in these works. and even then, it's not a slam-dunk.
