Relevant papers from the fields of psychology, linguistics and the instructional sciences are also considered if they bear implications for the design of computational systems.
The central audience of the journal consists of researchers, students and industrial practitioners from the following areas: artificial intelligence (focus on knowledge-based systems), human-computer interaction (focus on cognitive engineering and intelligent interfaces), linguistics (focus on pragmatics and dialog models), and the instructional sciences (focus on computer-based tutoring system
Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
UMUAI prefers papers to be submitted electronically since such papers can be forwarded to the reviewers without delay and in most cases be printed directly by the publisher from the author's source file (hardcopy submission to the above address is however also possible). In the reviewing stage, UMUAI prefers PDF, MS Word, RTF and Postscript but also accepts most other popular PC and Macintosh based formats (if in doubt, contact the editor for further information). For submission in LaTeX, Kluwer Academic Publishers have developed a Kluwer LaTeX class file, which can be downloaded from: http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/
Kluwer encourages the use of LaTeX.
Electronic articles can be transferred in one of the following ways (in order of preference):
1. Electronic Mail. Articles can be sent to umuai-submission@informatik.uni- essen.de as email attachments, whose size should not exceed 2 MB. All popular compression methods are acceptable. If encrypted transmission is desired, a public key is available from http://umuai.informatik.uni-essen.de.
2. Anonymous ftp. Articles can be uploaded by anonymous ftp in the directory/ pub/UMUAI/incoming on the ftp server ftp.informatik.uni-essen.de. The title and abstract of the submission should be sent by email to unuai-submission@in formatik.uni-essen.de. Note that the contents of the directory/pub/UMUAI/ incoming are unreadable to anonymous ftp users for security reasons. If encrypted transmission is desired, a public key is available from http://umuai.informatik.uni- essen.de.
Manuscript Presentation
The journal's language is English, British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow room for reviewers' remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
o running head (shortened title)
o article type
o title
o author(s)
o affiliation(s)
o full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. Work planned but not completed should not appear in the abstract.
Key Words
Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order. Since the abstract and the key words will be used to select appropriate referees, it is essential to make them as informative as possible.
Statement of Exclusive Submission
The first page should include the following statement: ``This paper has not been submitted elsewhere in identical or similar form, nor will it be during the first three months after its submission to UMUAI.''
Figures and Tables
Submission of electronic figures
Authors are encouraged to use either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PICT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used later in the production process, and the hard copy will be scanned instead. Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., `figure1.eps'. For vector graphics, EPS is he preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10-15%.
AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS
Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program. If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).
If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document.
HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTSCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS
Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer `Apple Laserwriter Plus' and specify `FILE': as printer port. Each time you send something to the `printer' you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.
The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single-page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select `Optimise for portability' instead. The option `Download header with each job' should be checked.
Submission of hard-copy figures
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. Arabic numerals should be used for figures and Roman numerals should be used for tables. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered (e.g., 1., 1.1, 1.1.1, 2., 2.1, etc.) and typed as follows:
1. Exciting Heading (Bold, Initial Capital Letters)
1.1. ANOTHER EXCITING HEADING (Not Bold, Initial Large Capital and Smaller Capital Letters)
1.3.1. These Headings Are Exciting (Italics, Not Bold, Initial Capital Letters and Lower Case Letters)
1.3.1.4. Truly exciting headings everywhere (Italics, only initial capital letter)
Appendices
Supplementary technical material (e.g. mathematical proofs or descriptions of experimental procedures) should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. These should be used sparingly and indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text. Material to be footnoted should appear at the bottom of the page on which it is referenced.
A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by `et al'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like `a' and `b' after the date to distinguish the works.
