[TYPES/announce] EPTCS, a new open access proceedings series

[Rob van Glabbeek]

With this email, we are launching

    Electronic Proceedings in Theoretic Computer Science (EPTCS)

a new international refereed open access venue for the rapid
electronic publication of the proceedings of workshops and
conferences, and of festschrifts, etc, in the general area of
theoretical computer science, broadly construed.

We do not charge authors or event organisers for electronic
publication in EPTCS in any way. If hard-copies of proceedings are
desired, event organisers have the choice of organising the printing
themselves or taking advantage of a standard contract we will make
with a printing house. Copyright on all papers is retained by the
author, and full-text electronic access to all papers is freely
available, without any need for registration or subscription.

Permanent archival of EPTCS publications is ensured by organising
EPTCS as an overlay of the Computing Research Repository (CoRR): see
arXiv.org. The content of EPTCS will be indexed by DBLP.

Only original papers will be considered for publication in EPTCS:
manuscripts are accepted for review by an EPTCS conference or workshop
with the understanding that the same work has not been published, nor
is presently submitted, elsewhere. However, full versions of extended
abstracts published in EPTCS, or substantial revisions, may later be
published elsewhere.

The submission and refereeing process is handled entirely by the
organisation of the conference, workshop or festschrift to which the
paper is submitted. Our editorial board carefully selects which
workshops and conferences can be trusted to select scientific papers
of quality only, and only those events will be granted a contract to
fill a volume of EPTCS.

Our editorial board consists of:

Luca Aceto              Rob van Glabbeek        Gordon Plotkin
Rajeev Alur             Lane A. Hemaspaandra    Vladimiro Sassone
Krzysztof R. Apt        Matthew Hennessy        Robert H. Sloan
Lars Arge               Bartek Klin             Wolfgang Thomas
Ran Canetti             Evangelos Kranakis      Irek Ulidowski
Luca Cardelli           Shay Kutten             Dorothea Wagner
Rocco De Nicola         Nancy Lynch             Martin Wirsing
Jose' Luiz Fiadeiro     Aart Middeldorp         Moti Yung
Wan Fokkink             Benjamin Pierce

In the hope this initiative will benefit the theoretical computer
science community,
