CONTENTS

This subdirectory contains a rational approximation paper and
|
8 |
supporting demonstration software that was submitted to the
|
9 |
journal "ACM Transactions On Mathematical Software" around
|
10 |
October of 2000. The authors were David T. Ashley, Joseph P.
|
11 |
DeVoe, Karl Perttunen, Cory Pratt, and Anatoly Zhigljavsky.

After spending one year in review, the reviews were second-rate
|
14 |
One of the two reviews was reasonable, but it was clear in the
|
15 |
second review that the reviewer did not understand the paper.
|
16 |
One [silly] comment was to ask why the system proposed was better
|
17 |
than mediant rounding. That was a purely idiotic comment, because
|
18 |
mediant rounding is a system of representation, but the topic
|
19 |
of the paper was simply how to choose a rational number.
|
20 |
|
21 |
After much human drama, because of the long review delay, it
|
22 |
was decided to instead publish a shorter version in "Embedded
|
23 |
Systems Programming" magazine.
|
24 |
|
25 |
There are two subdirectories, "paper" (for the paper) and
|
26 |
"c_imp" (for the demonstration software).

"acm" is short for "Association For Computing Machinery", and
|
32 |
represents part of the title of the journal to which this paper
|
33 |
was submitted, and "0010" is a date code for October, 2000.
