Computing Systems, published quarterly by the USENIX Association
in conjunction with the University of California Press, is a
refereed scholarly journal devoted to chronicling the development
of advanced computing systems. It uses an aggressive review cycle
providing authors with the opportunity to publish new reesults
quickly, usually within six months of submission.
Several individuals have requested information on how to contribute
to Computing Systems. So, here it is:
Information for Contributors
Manuscripts should be sent in input form via uucp to
journal@usenix.org
Alternatively, manuscripts may be sent to:
Managing Editor
Computing Systems
2560 Ninth Street, Suite 215
Berkeley, CA 94710
in quadruplicate, together with a cover sheet listing the authors' names and
telephone numbers, the title of the article, and a 75-300 word summary.
Selection of Manuscripts
All submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the Advisory Board
as well as the Editor-in-Chief. Comments from reviewers will be transmitted to
authors anonymously, unless the reviewer has indicated that his or her remarks
can be attributed.
Preparation
References and Notes
Intext references should refer to an alphabetical list at the end of the
submission. The references should have the last name(s) of the author(s) and
the year of publication, enclosed in brackets, e.g.: [Deitel 1984] [Kernighan
& Ritchie 1978] but [Accetta et al. 1986] (for works with three or more
authors).
Bibliographical references should be of the form
J. R. Bell, Threaded Code, Communications of the ACM, 16(6):370-372,
June 1973.
or
H. M. Deitel, An Introduction to Operating Systems, New York:
Addison-Wesley, 1984.
Figures and Illustrations
For each figure or illustration two (2) high quality glossy prints, original
laser output, or original drawings should be submitted. Identify each figure
or illustration on the back to reduce confusion. Photocopies are unacceptable
as they will not print satisfactorily.
Tables and Equations
Tables should supplement the text, not duplicate it. Please use tbl and eqn
whenever possible.
Printing and Publication
Authors will be informed of the acceptability or rejection of their submissions
as rapidly as possible, typically no more than six weeks after receipt of the
article. Authors will receive a ``Consent to Publish'' form soon after
acceptance of their article. The University of California requires this to be
signed prior to publication.
Each author of an article will receive two copies of the issue of Computing
Systems containing the work. The principal author of each article will receive
25 offprints of the article. An order form for additional offprints will be
sent each author.
