Eersten-Schultze" Subject: Call for papers Date: Tue, 04 Jul 1995 Contributed by Jan H. van Schuppen (J.H.van.Schuppen@cwi.nl) Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems (MCSS) CALL Readers of this eletter are encouraged to submit their work to MCSS. The backlog that existed years ago has been completely cleared. For instance, several papers that were received in the second half of 1994 are already appearing in the 1995 volume. MCSS publishes one volume (four issues) per year, with about 400 pages. AIMS AND SCOPE MCSS publishes original and high-quality research papers concerned with mathematically rigorous, system theoretic aspects of control and signal processing. HANDLING OF PAPERS A paper is assigned to an Associate Editor, who makes a publication recommendation on the basis of a detailed and careful evaluation by two or more referees. Evaluation criteria used include originality, substance, and quality of exposition. To maintain the highest possible standards of quality, and to pursue the goal of timely publication, only a small fraction of submitted papers can be expected to be accepted. The journal strives for a fast turnaround in the review process. SUBMISSION A typical paper submitted to MCSS consists of an average of 20 pages of LaTeX in 12 point article style with a maximum of 25 such pages, 50 double-spaced typewritten pages, or the equivalent. If a paper is longer than the maximum number of pages then authors are requested to provide a justification for the added length in their cover letter. Associate Editors and reviewers are instructed to pay careful attention to conciseness as an important characteristic of good mathematical exposition. The address for submissions is: J.H. van Schuppen Co-Editor MCSS CWI P.O. Box 94079 1090 GB Amsterdam The Netherlands Authors wishing to inquire about the scope of the journal or the suitability of a particular topic are encouraged to contact the Editors informally, preferably by electronic mail, prior to submission. Email inquires regarding submission should be addressed to mcss@cwi.nl. WWW PAGES OF MCSS http://www.cwi.nl/cwi/departments/BS3/mcss.html http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~sontag/mcss.html These pages are identical; the access is faster to one of these depending on the geographical area from which the request originates. The MCSS Home Page provides general information on the journal, as well as information regarding the submission of manuscripts. Two additional pages can be accessed from the main page: - - a page which provides information on the tables of contents of recently appeared issues of MCSS and on papers accepted for publication but not yet published; - - and a page which provides information on the tables of contents of the older volumes of MCSS. We look forward to your contributions!
