Abstract:
This is a BibTeX bibliography for ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS), completely covering all issues from March 1975 – March 1996. All papers, including editorials, policy statements, remarks, and corrigenda are included.
Author Comments:
Abstracts, Keywords, Categories and Subject Descriptors are available for some issues. Eventually, this coverage should be extended to the entire collection, in the interests of enhancing search capabilities. This bibliography includes ACM Algorithms 493 – 735 (or the latest), including Algorithm 568, published in ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS). For ACM Algorithms 1 – 492, see the companion bibliography, cacm.bib. All published Remarks and Corrigenda are cross-referenced in both directions, so that citing a paper will automatically generate citations for those Remarks and Corrigenda. There is one important paper, on multiple-precision integer division, included from the journal Software — Practice and Experience because it is cross-referenced to a TOMS paper. Algorithms published in Communications of the ACM, prior to the founding of TOMS in 1975, are also included in this bibliography, if a TOMS paper contains Remarks or Corrigenda for them. Source code for ACM Algorithms from 380 onwards, with some omissions, is available via netlib, and via anonymous ftp to netlib.bell-labs.com in /netlib/toms. The initial draft of entries for 1981 – 1990 was extracted from the ACM Computing Archive CD ROM for the 1980s, with manual corrections and additions from bibliographies in the TeX User Group collection, the author's personal bibliography files, Aake Bjoerck's ftp://math.liu.se:/pub/references/habook.bib, G. W. Stewart's ftp://thales.cs.umd.edu:/pub/references/ref.bib, John R. Rice and Richard J. Hanson's Algorithm 620 (available as a BibTeX file via netlib, with additions up to Algorithm 678), and a very large computer science bibliography collection on ftp.ira.uka.de in /pub/bibliography to which many people of have contributed.
