Publications

On this page we have collected scientific papers and reports where IMMAs are mentioned.

To allow a multi-column sorting, click on the header of the column you want to sort first. Then then press “Shift” button on the keyboard, and, while holding it, click on another header, that header’s column will be used as a second sorting column (initially, the ordering will be done based on the first column, and after that, based on the second column).
