Call For Papers - NeXUS Magazine NeXUS Magazine, "For Users of Advanced Computers", is soliciting papers/articles/columns for publication. NeXUS will be published bimonthly beginning with the November/December 1990 issue. Statement Of Purpose NeXUS provides Information Workers with the knowledge they need to make the most productive use of their tools. The aim is to help improve their understanding of the details they need to work. We present in-depth tutorials on applications for advanced hardware/software platforms in general, and the NeXT computer in general. The subject matter is detailed and presented in a highly technical manner excepting issues which are of a broader interest (i.e., unless there is a great need for it, there will be NO comparisons of hard drives, plotters, and the like, but there will be product reviews). Format NeXUS is a magazine focused on providing highly-technical information to enable its readers to be effective in Today's competitive workplace. To accomplish this, an article guideline has been established: Each article must provide information about using a specific hardware and/or software tool productively, or must provide information on how to use the computer to fulfill a particular need. Each issue will have a specific theme of which no fewer than three technical articles will be featured. Each chosen theme will also remain faithful to the article guidline. While there will be reviews and an occasional "Let's look at the whole forest" overview of some topics of interest, articles will generally be substantive. Calendar The Editorial Calendar for the first six issues are: Issue #1: Putting The Cube To Work/The New Machines Issue #2: Programming for NextStep Issue #3: Desktop Publishing/PostScript Issue #4: Digital Signal Processing Issue #5: The Mach Operating System Issue #6: Databases/Information Systems Planned articles include: Generating code for the Objective-C run-time mechanism Compiling C Incrementally Code Optimizations for '030/'882 Redefining Pitch Variables For Micro-Tonal Scales User Interface Issues In Display PostScript DTMF Synthesis/Decoding On The 56001 Designing A Usable User-Interface Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Design Planned Columns include: Programming PostScript Using UNIX Q & A/Tips Calendar, Announcements, & User Groups Topics of interest include: Interface Builder Digital Signal Processing User-interface design/programming Sound/Music Mach Networking NextStep Display PostScript Sybase SQL Server Groupware programming Tutorials & tips on specific applications (bundled or not) If you have any unpublished articles you would like to have published, are interested in writing an article, or would like to do a column, please contact Alfonso Guerra, Editor, at 1(404)271-8305 (9 AM - 9 PM EDT Please!), or EMAIL: {emory|gatech}!nanovx!NeXUS, or SNAIL: NeXUS Magazine Box 1208 Flowery Branch, GA 30542 U.S.A.
