My previous post missed to list some publications from Princeton PEAR Lab.
Now, I supply it in this follow up.

I was wrong here in fact they've listed a number of publications to
some journals in this web page http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/publist.html
There're more than 50 publications. In the past, I didn't find that.
