Books:

• Snipers, Shills, and Sharks: eBay and Human Behavior, Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 2007.

• "Computing with Solitons", D. Rand and K. Steiglitz, Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science, Springer, Heidelberg, in press, scheduled for publication March 2009 (invited).

• " Observation of temporal vector soliton propagation and collision in birefringent fiber", D. Rand, I. Glesk, C.-S. Brès, D.A. Nolan, X. Chen, J. Koh, J.W. Fleischer, K. Steiglitz, P.R. Prucnal, Phys. Rev. Lett., 98, 053902, Feb. 1, 2007.

• "Photon trapping and transfer with solitons", K. Steiglitz and D. Rand, accepted in Phys. Rev. A as a Rapid Communication. (This proposes the manipulation of single photons in an optical fiber using classical solitons, a scheme that would find application in quantum information processing.)

• "Computational testbeds for emergent dynamics in macro-economic systems", M. Honig and K. Steiglitz, a preproposal to NSF. (This describes continuing work in agent-based simulation aimed at understanding emergent properties of macroeconomic systems. See https://minsim.cs.princeton.edu/)
