Highlights of the Year

One of Philippe Clauss' early papers on Ehrhart polynomials has been celebrated, 18 years later, in a selection of papers for the International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS) 25th anniversary retrospective [13] . 35 papers have been selected among roughly 1800 papers published between 1987 and 2011. The paper is:

"Counting Solutions to Linear and Nonlinear Constraints Through Ehrhart Polynomials: Applications to Analyze and Transform Scientific Programs", by Philippe Clauss, ICS'96, which introduced Ehrhart polynomials in the field of program analysis and optimization.

Philippe Clauss wrote an additional retrospective [12] related to this research which complements the paper in the ICS special issue.
