Call for Papers Theory and Practice of Object Systems (TAPOS) ============================================= Editors in chief: Karl Lieberherr, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts Roberto Zicari, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany ************** Aims and Scope ************** Theory and Practice of Object Systems is an archival, peer reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high quality research results. Papers will be selected primarily in areas of Object Technology, including, but not limited to: - Programming Languages and Models - Foundations, Semantics, Type Theory - Database Management Systems and Database Languages - Concurrency - Distribution - Software Engineering and Software Development Tools and Environments - Formal Specification - Metrics and Evaluation - Analysis and Design Methods - Novel Applications - Operating Systems Contributions in other areas of object-based computing are also welcome. Research contributions on these aspects will be collected under the interdisciplinary umbrella of the object-oriented approach they have in common rather than from the point of view of the parent discipline. Theoretical papers should either break significant new ground or unify and extend existing theories. Systems papers should emphasize the underlying principles and important discoveries, backed up by architectural and implementation details. Published quarterly, Theory and Practice of Object Systems (TAPOS) disseminates new, but long lasting concepts and results of high quality useful to researchers and practitioners of object technology. The main goal of TAPOS is to make a fundamental contribution to the growth and consolidation of a scientific object community with high intellectual standards. The journal is a service to the object community in that it provides a forum for stringently refereed, noteworthy, and relevant results. ********************* How to submit a paper ********************* The editors-in-chief encourage the submission of contributions from all parts of the world. Five (5) copies of submitted articles should be sent to one of the editors-in-chief. The editors-in-chief will assign the article to an Associate Editor whose subject area expertise is appropriate to the article's subject. Published papers will include the name of the Associate Editor who managed the refereeing process. A special transfer of copyright agreement, signed and executed by the author, must be provided when an article is accepted. (If the article is a work made for hire, the agreement must be signed by the employer.) Copies of the copyright agreement may be obtained from the editors-in-chief through e-mail. The corresponding author will receive 25 free reprints. There is no page charge to authors, unless color printing is requested. Papers are processed with the understanding that they have not been published, submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere.
