A journal of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which publishes surveys, tutorials, and special reports on all areas of computing research. Volumes are published yearly in four issues appearing in March, June, September, and December.
ACM has recently published new Fair Use Guidelines for authors whose manuscripts include third-party material. They can be found at: http://www.acm.org/publications/guidance-for-authors-on-fair-use.

The old ACM Computing Surveys was getting extremely outdated so I'm happy to introduce a modern redesign of the site, with many thanks to Twitter's Bootstrap. Please feel free to email me suggestions, comments or corrections as I redesign and update the webpage.

Papers for ACM Computing Surveys must be of high quality and fall within the scope of the journal. There are four main ingredients to an acceptable paper:
Computing Surveys does not accept papers primarily devoted to presentation of new technical results; such papers belong in technical journals, and reviewers may make suggestions of possibilities where appropriate. This is not to say no new results may be included; papers devoted primarily to presenting a survey or tutorial that include a new result to organize and convey the material in a better way are within the scope of the journal.
Please prepare an anonymous referee report suitable for transmission to the author. In addition, please prepare a cover letter to the editor summarizing recommendation (i.e., publish, publish after revision, reject but encourage resubmission after revision, reject). Your report may be transmitted to the editor by using ACM's Manuscript Central web site at http://acm.manuscriptcentral.com/.
For further information about Computing Surveys, please contact Molly Shea (csur DOT admin AT acm DOT org). The editors are especially interested in hearing about proposals for special issues, including Symposium issues.
