Some of the articles referenced in the notes. (Note: although these are listed as `background reading', it is not expected that candidates know this material -- it is really only there for keen interests such as potential PhD students in this area and even so much of it pretty inaccessible. An exception is the Decompilation Page which is very readable.) Access to some of these links is restricted to machines within the Computer Laboratory.
