CODE ABSTRACT
Many excelent simulation packages have been and are being developed by our cornunity. To enhance the exchange of simulation software we will reopen the software section of this journal. Interested authors should send their contribution directly to the editor of this section. D. Saphier SOREQ Nuclear Y avne 70600 Israel

The computer code abstract should be between one to three pages long and should include all the relevant material concerning the program and the package as it can be made available by the author. This abstract should not be a description of the mathematical model, this can be done in a separate paper. Rather it should describe in general terms the problem being solved and the means-languages, processors etc. that are being used. We propose that the format of the computer code abstract should be as outlined below but authors can also use a different form of presentation if they wish.
Proposed format for computer code abstract A. Name or designation of program This is the name or designation given to the program(s)
by the author.
B. Computer for which program is designed and others upon which it is operable The computer hardware system for which the program or system was prepared and names of other computers for which versions are available are listed. C. Description of problem or function A brief description of the problem being carried out is given.
being solved or a definition
of the data processing
D. Method of solution A short summary of the mathematical methods employed, numerical procedures incorporated in the program should appear under this entry. E. Restrictions on the complexity of the problem This item includes restrictions implied by storage meshpoints, as well as those due to approximations limitations. etc.
