                       AMAST Series in Computing

Aim and Scope
-------------

Recent progress in the area of using algebraic methodology for the
development of software technology justifies a new series in
computing. The volumes published in this series will contain
comprehensive presentations of algebraic methods used for software
development that are both theoretically well founded and efficiently
implemented.  The goal of these volumes will be to provide
comprehensive mathematical frameworks for software design and
implementation, as an alternative to the current ad hoc trends. The
prerequisite for the volumes published in this series is that they are
to contain both a mathematically-precise (algebraic) theory and its
methodological application to software development, demonstrated by an
implemented system.

The readership of this series includes those working in theoretical
computer science as well as those who are actually developing computer
products. Each volume will be dedicated to a field of interest where
the use of the algebraic methodology provides a breakthrough and which
is sufficiently developed to have a real value for researchers,
students, and engineers, actually working in software design and
development.

We are seeking single or multi author monographs in the
area of applying algebraic (mathematical) methodology to the
development of software technology, as specified by the aim and scope
of this series. 

To submit a monograph for publication in this series, identify the
member of the above editorial board closest to the area of interest
and send him a proposal which consists of the following documents:

(1) Title of the monograph and a short presentation of the material
    it will cover.

(2) A list of contents showing the chapters covered in the monograph
    and their authors. 

(3) A specification of the software accompanying the monograph, if any.

(4) A production plan showing the times at which material can be ready.

(5) A marketing plan showing who can be expected to buy the book.

In case of uncertainty, send the proposal to the Managing Editor.
