About the journal
ACM TOPLAS presents research results on all aspects of the design, definition, implementation, and use of programming languages and programming systems. It is a peer-reviewed journal, published 6 times a year by ACM.
Instructions to Authors
The scope of TOPLAS includes:
- programming languages and their semantics;
- programming systems - systems to assist the programming task, such as
- compilers,
- runtime systems, and
- language environments
- storage allocation and garbage collection;
- languages and methods for writing specifications;
- testing and verification methods; and
- algorithms specifically related to the implementation of language processors.
Most articles are prepared from author's LaTeX
For all the other ACM transactions, papers are re-typed from a printed copy of the paper. While some TOPLAS papers are prepared this way, most are generated from the author's LaTeX source.
There is a set of LaTeX style/class files that automate much of the process of converting articles to ACM Transactions format. These files are currently (as of March 1997) doing a bit of evolution, so as to work with LaTeX 2e and with the hyperref style file (the hyperref style file will allow embedding hyperlinks and will automatically link citations to bibliography entries and link section and figure references to the actual section/figures). LaTeX wizard help would be appreciated.
All TOPLAS articles are web posted in PDF format. There are a number of issues related to preparing good PDF from a LaTeX document (such as using postscript, rather than bitmap, font representations). For now, we are planning to generate the PDF from the author's LaTeX here at the TOPLAS editorial office in Maryland.
How to submit to TOPLAS
Please report any problems to Mike Henrichs. We will acknowledge your submission within a week. If you do not receive acknowledgement, contact the Editor-in-Chief. Paper submissions (one copiy, to the Editor-in-Chief) are also acceptable, but cannot be processed as efficiently. Papers will be refereed in the manner customary with scientific journals before being accepted for publication.
Manuscripts may be submitted as Short Communications, in which the authors explain an interesting new idea with a maximum of clarity and a minimum of verbiage, not to exceed 5000 words.
For more information regarding electronically submitting accepted articles to TOPLAS follow this link to ACM.
LaTeX style files
Authors submitting papers in LaTeX may want to use these style files to format their documents.
We now have style files that work with LaTeX2e. Authors are encouraged to make the switch to using LaTeX2e.
When put up on the web, TOPLAS articles are processed with the hyperref package to automatically link citations to the bibliography, figure citations to figures, and so on. The hyperref package also allows embedded URL's in LaTeX documents.
Convert LaTeX documents to PDF
TOPLAS articles are available PDF format from

There are a number of issues associated with doing a good translation of LaTeX to PDF, described in another web page.
Reprints
Authors may order reprints of papers as they are published, for a fee. No reprints are provided free of charge.
