(note: please use Mozilla) Information Document To:  Participants in the workshop  Re: Special Issue. New Submission DEADLINE:  Feb 28,  2009  As announced at the workshop, Prof Luc Wuytack, Principal Editor of JCAM has accepted our proposal for a Special Issue of JCAM to be devoted to contributions arising from the 2008 workshop. The following provides additional information.   GUEST EDITORS C T H Baker* * Member of the editorial board. c.baker@chester.ac.uk cthbaker@ma.man.ac.uk University of Chester & University of Manchester Teresa Diogo tdiogo@math.ist.utl.pt Instituto Superior Técnico N J Ford n.ford@chester.ac.uk University of Chester P Lima plima@math.ist.utl.pt Instituto Superior Técnico Adélia  Sequeira adelia.sequeira@math.ist.utl.pt Instituto Superior Técnico   Some administrative assistance will be provided by Administrative Staff at Chester researchoffice@chester.ac.uk  Submitted papers will be refereed and should be approximately 15 pages long (standard special issue limits are between 10 and 20 pages) in the Journal format They should be prepared in LaTeX using Elsevier’s style file elsarticle.cls The new Elsevier style file allows one to view the size of the paper using the Journal’s page size.  Please use the documentclass instruction: \documentclass[3p,10pt,final]{elsarticle} as this should give an accurate estimate of the length of the final paper. For accepted papers, we shall need *.pdf *.tex, and any supplementary files*.pdf *.tex, and supplementary files (figures, bib files, etc.). You might like to name your files in a distinctive manner for ease of identification! (If they are all called paper.tex, paper.pdf, …, it is a nightmare later!)   The following files are available for download from: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/elsarticle •      elsarticle.cls, the class file •               elsdoc.pdf, the user documentation •               elsarticle-template-num.tex, template file for numerical references •               elsarticle-num.bst, bibtex style file for numerical references •               elsarticle.zip, the above files in a single zip file.               Demonstration paper: Demo.tex      Demo.pdf Submitted papers should be sent by Email to researchoffice@chester.ac.uk and papers will then be assigned to one of the Guest Editors. NB. Please DO NOT submit your paper under the standard Elsevier electronic submission (as would apply for papers not being considered for part of the Special Issue).  UK Universities close for the interval from Christmas to the New Year so do not expect a rapid acknowledgement of receipt in this time-period. If you are concerned about its safe arrival, you can also send, to the Guest Editors collectively: the title, authors, and the name of the pdf file submitted (the pdf files themselves are not necessary, these go to researchoffice@chester.ac.uk ). Papers should conform to the normal acceptance conditions and normal high standards of quality of the Journal of Computational & Applied Mathematics. To ensure that the normal high standards of JCAM will be applied it is the responsibility (in the final event) of the Editorial Board of JCAM to make the final decision on acceptance -- endorsing, or otherwise, the Guest Editors!! (In no case, in which I have been involved, have the Guest Editors been over-ruled.)   Supplementary remarks JCAM: The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyse new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. In addition, the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms, is of importance. The target audience comprises: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers. http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505613/description#description   LaTeX style file. “Elsevier’s document class for typeset articles elsart.cls is over 10 years old. Elsevier are replacing it with the newly written document class elsarticle.cls, which was developed for Elsevier by the leading TeX company River-Valley Technologies. elsarticle.cls is based upon the standard LaTeX document class article.cls. It uses natbib.sty for bibliographical references.” Authors should use \documentclass[3p,10pt,final]{elsarticle} with numbered citations with bibliographic items entered alphabetically and chronologically.  \documentclass[3p,10pt,final]{elsarticle} appears to provide a good estimate of the final length of a contribution. Option 3p seems to give the JCAM page size.  The most recent issue of JCAM  appears to use 10pt. For accepted papers, we shall need *.pdf *.tex, and supplementary files (figures, bib files, etc.).   Guide for Authors. “Contributions should be written in English. No page charge is made. Contributions should not have been copyrighted, published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The paper should   be submitted in) its intended final form (subject to refereeing. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher   Paper format: Manuscripts should be prepared for publication in accordance with instructions given below. Footnotes should be avoided if possible and, if used, should be as brief as possible, they should be numbered consecutively. Each paper should be introduced by a list of keywords, should indicate classification codes (see: http://www.ams.org/msc), and should include a self-contained abstract of no more than thirty lines without long formulas. Special care should be given to the preparation for figures and diagrams. Except for a reduction in size, they will appear in final printing form in exactly the same format as submitted by the author; they will not be redrawn by the printer. [Unless arrangements are made, figures are printed in monochrome but can be published electronically in colour.] In order to make a photographic reproduction possible, all figures should be on separate sheets, with wide margins, drawn large size, and of good quality. Figure files, if available, should be enclosed (preferably high-resolution tiff or eps). Exceptions are diagrams only containing formulae and a small number of straight lines (or arrows): these can be typeset.   Useful URLS: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.authors/505613/description#description http://www.elsevier.com/framework_authors/misc/elsarticle.cls http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/elsarticle http://www.elsevier.com/framework_authors/misc/elsarticle-num.bst http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/latex-packages
