------------------------------ From: Ron Boisvert Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 16:46:58 -0400 Subject: Announcing a Computing Research Repository Researchers regularly make their papers available by putting them on personal web pages, departmental pages, and on various ad hoc sites known only to cognoscenti. Until now, there has not been a single repository to which researchers from the whole field of computing can submit reports. This is about to change. Through a partnership of ACM, the Los Alamos e-Print archive, and NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library), an online Computing Research Repository (CoRR) is being established. The Repository has been integrated into the collection of over 20,000 computer science research reports and other material available through NCSTRL (http://www.ncstrl.org) and will be linked with the ACM Digital Library. Most importantly, the Repository will be available to all members of the community at no charge. Among the subject classes identified for the repository are Computational Engineering, Finance and Science Numerical Analysis Mathematical Software Symbolic Computation We encourage you to start using the Repository right away. For more details see http://www.acm.org/repository. Please spread the word among your colleagues and students. CoRR will only gain in value as more researchers use it. ------------------------------
