Information communicated to third parties

With the acm Author-Izer service, you can download the final published versions of my publications with acm. To enable such functionality, the request to the acm digital library will include a referrer to indicate that were redirected from this domain sion.info. This is necessary for acm to verify that you were redirected from my personal site to receive free access to the published version of my paper. If you don’t want to send this information to acm, you can always download the author version of my publications directly from this site.
