Some Notes for authors

• All articles must be original and not published or submitted elsewhere. We follow ACM in our definition of originality as the article containing 25% new material. This applies to regular and special issues
• See Author Instructions at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/77004395/ForAuthors.html?
• You will be asked to file copyright form. Please preferably download it, sign it, scan into system as described on Manuscript Central.. If this is not possible please donload it from http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/homepages/central/cta/UKscta.pdf and FAX this form to Wiley in the UK at +44 (0)1243 770481 and do not send to editors.
• Copyright form has a mysterious "TO" field on it. Please leave it blank. Please give ManuscriptCentral number CPE-XX-YYYY on form
• As usual lead author can sign on behalf of a group of co-authors
• Occasionally papers like to use color pictures. It is strongly recommended that this be avoided although in principle this is possible if authors pay additional costs.

Author Instructions for Special Issues appear below

• Special issues papers must be new or significantly extended from say a conference paper; we do not reprint articles in special issues
• You will be asked about special issues in the paper submission process during submission to Manuscript Central: if you are submitting for a special issue please insert acronym for your special issue
• If you wish to refer to another paper in same special issue for which issue/page numbers are clearly unknown to you, please use the rubric Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience [this issue] in journal part of citation. It will be correctly modified by Wiley in production process
• You do NOT need to worry about "copyright transfer agreements" until AFTER paper fully accepted and Wiley will contact you. Do NOT send copyright transfer agreements to editors or to Fox
• Please submit in Latex or Word with Latex ONLY having a special template

Editor Instructions for Special Issues appear below

• All special issues should have an editorial from 1-20 pages long; these are typically very popular based on download statistics so this is worth a bit of effort. Further currently Wiley provides free access to all editorials so don't waste this; write a great editorial!
• Editorials should be submitted through manuscript central as a special issue paper; please send an email to Geoffrey Fox or Luc Moreau (if submitted through him) when special issue complete and indicate preferred order with editorial as first
• Editorial should refer to papers in issue as Author Names, Title, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience [this issue]
• It is best for editors to "accept" all papers (including editorial) at the same time in Manuscript Central
• Editors should supply a covering document containing preferred order of articles and if papers reviewed outside Manuscript Central, the received, revised (if applicable) and accepted dates
• The paranoid software will blind special issue editors to papers of which they are author (such as editorials). You can avoid this by using a different login (email address) for author and editor role. Alternatively ask Fox or Moreau to handle this paper for you.
