General Author Instructions
Please make sure that the paper is submitted in its final form. Corrections in the proof stage other than printer's errors should be avoided: costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors.
Contributions should be arranged as follows:
- Paper title, authors name, affiliations, full postal address, telephone, fax, and e-mail details. The title should be short, specific and informative.
- Self-contained abstract of no more than 100 words, outlining the aims, scope and conclusion of the paper. Three to five keywords must be included.
- The text, suitably divided under numbered headings (introduction; method; result; discussion)
- Acknowledgements(if any)
- References (following the journal's style)
- Appendix (if any)
- Tables (each on a separate sheet)
- Captions to illustrations (grouped on a separate sheet)
- Illustrations, each on a separate sheet and clearly labelled if not using electronic submission
Ensure that all figures and tables are mentioned in the text. Note that trade name should have a capital letter. Footnotes should be avoided if possible and be brief. They should be numbered consecutively. Abbreviations and acronyms should only be used for unwieldy terms and names that occur frequently. Abbreviation should be consistently throughout the text, and must be clearly defined in full on first use.
Equations Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses. The meaning of all symbols should be explained in the text when they first occur. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type; constants, roman type; matrices and vectors, bold type.
Tables Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and given a suitable caption. All table columns should have an explanatory heading, and where appropriate units of measurement. Footnotes to table should be typed below the table and referred to by superscript letters. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript.
Figures Figures should be provided in a form suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. Lettering should be uniform of size corresponding to the anticipated reduction. Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Figures should be identified by Arabic numerals and the captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet rather than lettered on the figures themselves. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality. Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author.
Electronic Artwork Submitting your illustrations, pictures, tables and other artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail. Please refer to http://authors.elsevier.com/ArtworkInstructions.html?dc=AI1 for detailed instructions. This site shows how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission and includes: common problems, suggestions on how to ensure the best results, and guidelines for popular applications. See the links under Creating your Artwork for details about using specific artwork software.
References In the text, indicate references by Arabic numerals in square brackets. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Reports should not be cited unless absolutely necessary. To cite a web reference, as a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. References should be listed alphabetically, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2], papers in a contributed volume [3,4], unpublished papers [5].

Accepted papers should be sent to: Professor Dr. Helmut Weberpals TU Hamburg-Harburg Technische Informatik/4-11 Schwarzenbergstrasse 95 D-21071 Hamburg Germany Fax: +49 40 42878 2798 weberpals@tu-hamburg.de For the purpose of further correspondence the manuscript should end with a complete mailing address, including email address, of at least one of the authors.
Electronic submission of accepted papers: LaTeX documents If the LaTeX file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should preferably be written using Elsevier Science's document class 'elsart', or alternatively the standard document class 'article'. The Elsevier LaTeX package (which includes detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from Elsevier's web site: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex or http://www.authors.elsevier.com/latex. It consists of the files: elsart.cls (use this file if you are using LaTeX2e, the current version of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart13.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX3.09, the previous version of LaTeX), guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX."
Figures may be inserted in the usual way using an \includegraphics command, at the position in the article where they are cited.
Your LaTeX file will be most useful as input for the printed article if you obey the following rules of thumb:
- Be consistent. If you use a macro for a phrase, use it throughout.
- Use standard LaTeX mark-up. Do not hardcode your own layout for e.g. section headings, but use the usual LaTeX macro for this purpose.
- Keep it simple. Do not define macros that accomplish complicated layout. They will also make the input process complicated.
Electronic submission of accepted papers: Non-LaTeX documents Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with a paper-printed version which is identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used. The word-processed text should be in single column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible; in particular, do not use the word-processor's options to justify the text or to hyphenate the words. The list of references, tables and figure legends should be compiled separately from the main text. Do not reserve space for the figures and tables in the text; instead, indicate their approximate locations, either directly in the electronic text or on the manuscript. The final text should be submitted both in manuscript form and on diskette. It is recommended to store the main text, list of references, tables and figure legends in separate text files with clearly identifiable file names (for example, with extensions .TXT, REF, .TBL, .FIG). The format of the files depends on the word-processor used. Texts made with DEC WPS PLUS, DisplayWrite, First Choice, IBM Writing Assistant, Microsoft Word, Multimate, PFS:Write, Professional Writer, Samma Word, Sprint, Total Word, Volkswriter, Wang PC, WordMARC, WordPerfect, Wordstar, or files supplied in DCA.RFT format will be readily processed. In all other cases the preferred text format is ASCII. Essential is that name and version of the word-processing program and the type of computer on which the text was prepared is clearly indicated on the diskette label or the accompanying checklist. The manuscript may contain parts (e.g. formulas or complex tables) or last-minute corrections which are not included in the text on diskette; however, if this is the case then the differences with the diskette version should be clearly marked on the manuscript. Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately.
No changes from the accepted version are permissible, without the explicit approval by the Editors. The Publisher reserves the right to decide whether to use the author's file or not. If the file is sent by e-mail, the full name of the journal should be mentioned in the subject field of the message to identify the paper. Authors should include an ASCII table (available from the Publisher) in their files to enable the detection of transmission errors.
Keyword Instructions Important Notice: please add one to five keywords to your article. Keywords are essential for the accessibility and retrievability of your article. Keywords assigned to articles will be assembled in a keyword index which will be printed in the last issue of each volume for each journal, and in cumulative indexes. In addition, it is planned to make keywords available on Internet. To maximize the consistency with which such keywords are assigned by different authors, the following guidelines have been drawn up.
- Each keyword (which can be a phrase of more than one word) should describe one single concept. Often words like "and" or "of" should be avoided.
- Avoid very general keywords which become meaningless once in a keyword list. Examples to avoid are "action", "computer", "mathematics". Check whether the keywords as a whole describe the outlines of the article.
- Use natural language: for instance "automatic error recovery" rather than "error recovery, automatic".
- Try to use nouns and adjectives as much as possible (i.e. use "automatic error recovery" rather than "recovering errors automatically"). Do not use nouns in the plural form.
- Use English rather than American spelling (regardless of the spelling used for the article itself).
- Avoid the use of abbreviations as much as possible, unless an abbreviation is so well-established that the full term is rarely used (e.g. use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", but use" computer aided design" instead of "CAD").
Although these guidelines are not mandatory, they should be adhered to where possible.
Proofs The corresponding author will receive page proofs in PDF format to be checked for typesetting/editing. Corrections should be returned to the Publisher within 48 hours of receipt. Should there be no corrections, this should be indicated. The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections are not communicated.
Offprints Twenty-five offprints without covers will be provided free of charge. Additional reprints may be purchased; an order form will be included with the proofs.
