Skip graphs are a novel distributed data structure, based on skip lists, that provide the full functionality of a balanced tree in a distributed system where resources are stored in separate nodes that may fail at any time.

First-Class Modules for Haskell, by Mark Shields and Simon Peyton Jones. “In this paper we refine Haskell’s core language to support first-class modules with many of the features of ML-style modules.

All of these features work across compilation units, and interact harmoniously with Haskell’s class system.”

Mechanizing the Metatheory of LF, by Christian Urban, James Cheney, and Stefan Berghofer. “Besides its intrinsic interest, our formalization provides a foundation for studying the adequacy of LF encodings, the correctness of Twelf-style metatheoretic reasoning, and the metatheory of extensions to LF.”
