Instructions to authors

Submission

The journal is strongly committed to machine-readable copy and electronic email submission of papers. Although paper copies of manuscripts sent to either editor will be considered, submission in electronic form is preferred. If a manuscript is submitted in paper form, three copies should be supplied. Papers can be prepared on any of a wide range of text processing/word processing systems such as nroff/troff, WordPerfect, Word, etc. A style file for LATEX will be made available on request to either editor.

General

Papers should be written in concise and clear English. Each paper should be typed double spaced and the first page should contain the names, full postal address and email address of the authors, an abstract and keywords. In the case of multiple authors, the author responsible for handling correspondence should be identified.

References

A separate reference section should accompany the paper. The Vancouver system of references is used. The following style should be used

M. Ganapathi, C. N. Fischer and J. Hennessy. Retargetable compiler code generation. ACM Computing Surveys, 14 (1982) 573-92.

Illustrations and tables

It is essential that a hard copy of each paper is provided for the extraction of illustrations and to ensure proper layout of tables. PostScript images of figures can be used directly and may be supplied along with the manuscript.

Proofs

Proofs must be corrected and returned within three days. Alterations other than typesetting corrections may be charged for.

Offprints
