Thank you for the paper. I have a peripheral question that’s been bugging me for a while and hopefully you can answer it: why aren’t the CS papers dated? If you hadn’t mentioned latest paper I would have to do footnote archeology to guess the general timeline.

Ha, I'm not sure! I just write papers, the vagaries of how and why journals and conference proceedings are published the way that they are is beyond my ken. Looking back through some of my other papers it seems that there's a mix --- some styles do include a date, especially those provided by the ACM, whilst others don't, including IEEE TPDS which is where the paper above is published. Who knows?
