This is a BibTeX bibliography for ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) (CODEN ACMSCU, ISSN 0098-3500 (print), 1557-7295 (electronic)), completely covering all issues from March 1975 -- date. All papers, including editorials, policy statements, remarks, and corrigenda are included.
The ACM maintains World Wide Web pages with journal tables of contents for 1985--date at

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 bibliographies, cacm1960.bib and cacm1970.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
ftp://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/toms
ACM also markets a CD-ROM containing algorithms 495 (March 1975) through 798 (December 1999): the ``CALGO Special Edition CD'', organized as a Web site (see entry ACM:2002:CSE at the end of this file).
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 the very large Karlsruhe computer science bibliography collection at
ftp://ftp.ira.uka.de/pub/bibliography/
to which many people of have contributed.
Math Review MRclass and MRnumber values for 341 entries were supplied from a search of the American Mathematical Society's MathSciNet database for version 2.26 [06-Dec-1996]. That search also turned up a few small errors in author names and title words; they have been corrected to match the original journal articles.
Numerous errors in the sources noted above have been corrected. Spelling has been verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell programs using the exception dictionary stored in the companion file with extension .sok.
Numerous heuristic checks on the validity of the TOMS bibliography files have also been made using software developed by the author for maintenance of the TeX Users Group and BibNet bibliography collections.
Every entry from March 1975 -- June 1994 has been compared directly with the article cover pages in the original journal issues to ensure correctness. Several errors were uncovered this way in earlier sources of BibTeX entries and citation data.
Considerable effort has been expended to ensure accuracy of this bibliography, because it is expected to be widely used and distributed. Capitalization of original titles, and use of initials or full names in author lists, should match the journal exactly, with two exceptions. (1) Algorithms have been sometimes entitled ``ALGORITHM xyz...'', and sometimes ``Algorithm xyz...''. The latter usage has been adhered to throughout. (2) Remarks and Corrigenda in the journal occasionally fail to cite the full title of the original paper; that has been rectified in the interests of clarity and consistency.
ACM copyrights explicitly permit abstracting with credit, so article abstracts, keywords, and subject classifications have been included in this bibliography wherever available. Article reviews have been omitted, until their copyright status has been clarified.
bibsource keys in the bibliography entries below indicate the entry originally came from the computer science bibliography archive, even though it has likely since been corrected and updated.
URL keys in the bibliography point to World Wide Web locations of additional information about the entry.
BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as name:year:abbrev, where name is the family name of the first author or editor, year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter condensation of important title words. Citation tags were automatically generated by software developed by the author for the BibNet Project.
In this bibliography, entries are sorted by journal, and then by publication order, with the help of ``bibsort -byvolume''. The bibsort utility is available from
ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/bibsort
The author will be grateful for reports of errors of any kind in this bibliography.
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility."
