"Permanent Living Documents" on the Web

This is a Web-published document, it is intended to be permanent, in the sense that page-level links should work "forever". Any page updates are intended only to correct errata, add information, and otherwise enhance the content in a manner consistent with the original scope (as defined by the page title). Any changes at all will result in an update of the copyright date. In summary, it is intended that each HTML page serve as a "permanent, living document" on the Web.

Electronic copies of the entire HTML document may be freely made for on-line, non-commercial usages (e.g., to maximize local access speed, guarantee future availability in exactly the current form, and the like). In such copies, relative URLs pointing outside the current document should be converted to absolute URLs. Other changes may be made only with the permission of the author(s). Please do not remove the existing absolute links at the bottom of each HTML page which point back to the original location of the document.

Will there be a book?

Yes, a book incorporating this document (and more advanced material) may appear as early as spring 2003.
