Editorial Policy

Ada Letters is now published three times a year, with the exception of special issues. The submission deadlines for all material other than articles (which must be submitted much earlier) are as follows:

Deadline Issue
June 1, 2009 August 2009
October 1, 2009 December 2009
February 1, 2010 April 2010
June 1, 2010 August 2010

October 1, 2011 December 2011

Letters, announcements and book reviews sent directly to the Managing Editor by the deadline will normally appear in the issue corresponding to that deadline.

Guidelines for Authors

Proposed articles are to be submitted to the Technical Editor, preferably via e-mail. Any article will be considered for publication, provided that topic is of interest to the SIGAda membership. Previously published articles are welcome, provided permission is granted by the previous publisher or copyright holder.

Although Ada Letters is not a refereed publication, acceptance is subject to the review and discretion of the Technical Editor. In order to appear in a particular issue, articles must be submitted far enough in advance of the deadline to allow for review/edit cycles. Backlogs may result in an article's being delayed for two or more issues. Contact the Managing Editor for information on the current publishing queue.

Submissions should be sent electronically in MS-Word (preferred), Postscript, or Adobe PDF format. All submissions must be formatted for US Letter paper (8.5" x11" ) with 1" margins with no numbers, headers or footers. Full justification of text is preferred, with a proportional font of no less than 10 points. Code insertions should be presented in a non-proportional font (e.g. Courier).

The title should be centered, followed by author information (also centered). The author's name, organization name and address, telephone number, and e-mail address should be given. For previously published articles, please give an introductory statement (in a distinctive font) or a footnote on the first page, identifying the previous publication.
