Any valid bibtex entry (but with the Author name listing convention as shown below) is acceptable, but please follow the additional submission guidelines below to assist in automation of the online bibliography.

Each bibtex entry should have a few additional fields to help in generating the online categorized bibliography automatically:

catId1 = { }
catId2 = { }
urlpage = { }
pdf = { }

catId1 (first-level category) and catId2 (second-level category) are used to categorize the entry. An entry can exist in multiple such categories. I.e., each entry can have multiple catId1 and catId2 fields.

• catId1 can be one or more of the following:
  HW        /* hardware mechanisms */
  SW        /* software mechanisms */
  TH        /* theoretical foundational work */
• catId2 can be one or more of the following:
  hwtm      /* hardware transactional memory proposals */
  hwrel     /* hardware proposals related to some transactional memory mechanisms */
  swtm      /* software transactional memory proposals */
  swnbs     /* software non-blocking synchronization work
  swsys     /* software transactional systems (system-level) */
  swlan     /* language support for transactions */
  swdb      /* database proposals relevant to transactional memory */
  usinghtm    /* proposals that show usages of HW transactional memory */
  usingstm    /* proposals that show usages of SW transactional memory */
  thcorrect    /* proposals that discuss correctness of TM models/systems */
• urlpage should point to an official online location (e.g., a DOI entry or an IEEE entry).
• pdf can point directly to a PDF file on the web if the urlpage is unavailable
