Ada Letters is now published two 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 April 1st June Issue October 1st December Issue
Letters, announcements and book reviews should be sent directly to the Technical Editor and will normally appear in the next corresponding issue.
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 Technical Editor for
information on the current publishing queue.
Articles should be submitted electronically in PDF (after acceptance,
manuscript sources will be required). 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.
As a contributing author, you retain copyright to your article. ACM will refer all requests for republication directly to you. By submitting your article for distribution in any newsletter of the ACM Special Interest Groups, you hereby grant to ACM the following non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide rights:
