Authors' Guidelines
The Report will provide software engineers, managers, programmers,
educators, multimedia designers, network specialists, security experts,
"newbies", and staffing specialists with the informational tools
necessary to excel in the rapidly changing world of Java. Special
emphasis will be given to "real world" solutions and case studies as
opposed to academic analyses. The Java Report will serve the entire
Java community, including, but not limited to:
OO and distributed OO development techniques employing Java
Java language specifics and tutorials
case studies of the successful use of Java
Java in the field of education
marketing strategies employing Java technologies
security issues surrounding Java
system administration in a Java-enabled environment
multimedia development using Java
the impact of Java on a corporation's human resource needs
tutorials for "newcomers" to object technology and Java
GUI design with Java
Java's effect on the "universal desktop"
the effect of that universal desktop on the enterprise
Java virtual machine specifics
Inter- and intra-net development techniques
authoring for Netscape and other Java-enabled browsers.
Authors should incorporate a spirit of individual empowerment and the
movement towards a through understanding of object technology and Java
programming across disciplines and throughout the enterprise.
Audience
The Java Report addresses the largest audience in SIGS' history. The
software engineers and OO programmers will have a forum alongside
educators, multimedia designers, professionals eager to learn and
employ object technology, marketing specialists, network and security
specialists, information specialists and managers of various areas.
Vision
A Java community in which object technology is truly pervasive and such
technology is applied to empower individuals, teams and the enterprise as
a whole. The Java Report supports this community through mentoring and
information sharing.
Mission
To provide the Java community with the most recent and most useful
information pertaining to Java development. The Java Report attempts
to break down the barriers imposed by technology assimilation and allow
everyone effected by technology (from software engineers to end-users)
to benefit from, study and employ the object-oriented paradigm. The
Report will facilitate the achievement of a technology industry in which
every user has an understanding of object technology and programming, and can
employ (via Java) that understanding as necessary to augment individual
empowerment.
Objectives
1) To facilitate excellence in Java development.
2) To allow users of all backgrounds and all levels of technical
savvy to participate in the Java movement.
3) To facilitate the infusion of Java and object technology into the K-12
curriculum.
4) To facilitate the infusion and teaching of object technology and Java
programming across disciplines in the undergraduate curriculum.
5) To help marketing professionals and multimedia designers create the
most compelling Java software.
6) To provide information about how Java and the universal desktop are
changing the work environment and human resource needs.

Java, be highly informative and lucid, and be appropriate to at least
one subset of the Java Report's audience.
Articles must have a brief one or two paragraph abstract/summary.
Diagrams and examples, including code fragments and complete programs,
should be provided, as needed.
Series (3-5 pages, 2 or more installments)
A series is a collection of articles offering the author an opportunity
to address a topic in great depth. The series may run for two or more
installments. Series should be clearly partitioned into subtopics.
Column (2-3 pages)
Columns are designed to provide an ongoing discussion of a topic area,
offering the columnist an opportunity to cover a topic in great breadth
over an extended period of time, and to track changes and trends in the
topic area as the technology matures.
Bookshelf (2-3 pages)
Reviews of books, videos, and conferences. A review should describe the
purpose, content, and intended audience of the item and make critical
comments on its accuracy and success in fulfilling its purpose. If
appropriate, the author should comment on the suitability of the item
for educational purposes.
Java Products
Reviews of software products (e.g. Java IDEs) and their efficacy. A
review should describe the purpose, content, and intended audience of
the item and make critical comments on its accuracy and success in
fulfilling its purpose. If appropriate, the author should comment on
the suitability of the item for educational purposes.
Movers & Shakers
Interview or profile of Java industry VIPs. An interview or profile
should discuss the "movers" background, current line of work and
primary contributions, primary work today, object of interview or
profile, and conclusion. An "eye on the future" perspective should be
maintained, including a discussion on where the "movers" contribution
will bring the Java community in the near future.
