Foreword T H E A C S S Y M P O S I U M S E R I E S was first published in 1974 to provide a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The purpose of this series is to publish comprehensive books developed from symposia, which are usually "snapshots in time" of the current research being done on a topic, plus some review material on the topic. For this reason, it is neces sary that the papers be published as quickly as possible. Before a symposium-based book is put under contract, the proposed table of contents is reviewed for appropriateness to the topic and for comprehensiveness of the collection. Some papers are excluded at this point, and others are added to round out the scope of the volume. In addition, a draft of each paper is peer-reviewed prior to final acceptance or rejection. This anonymous review process is supervised by the organiz er^) of the symposium, who become the editor(s) of the book. The authors then revise their papers according to the recom mendations of both the reviewers and the editors, prepare camera-ready copy, and submit the final papers to the editors, who check that all necessary revisions have been made. As a rule, only original research papers and original re view papers are included in the volumes. Verbatim reproduc tions of previously published papers are not accepted. M.
