Paper submission

When preparing your submission, please adhere strictly to the indications below. These requirements serve to ensure the appropriateness of the reviewing process and inclusion in the ACM Digital Library proceedings.

Paper format

All papers must be formatted according to the ACM proceedings style. Click on the link to access Latex and Word templates for this format.

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract and the keywords form the primary source for assigning papers to reviewers. So make sure that they are a concise and complete summary of your paper with sufficient information to let someone who doesn’t read the full paper know what it is about.

Complying with double-blind review (full and short papers only)

In a "Double-blind Review" process, authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers should not know the names of the authors. Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves anonymity of the authors, namely:
- Do not put your names under the title
- Avoid using phrases such as “our previous work” when referring to earlier publications by the authors
- Remove information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs)
- Check supplemental material (e.g., titles in the video clips, or supplementary documents) for information that may identify the authors identity
- Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.
If authors fail to comply with the Double-blind restrictions, we reserve the right to reject outright the paper on administrative basis.

List of authors

Please ensure that you submit your paper with the full list of authors. It is not possible to add or remove authors from your paper during the review process or after acceptance.

Length of the paper

Please ensure the appropriate length of your submission, namely:

Full papers: 8 page limit
Short papers: 4 page limit
Open source software papers: 4 page limit
Technical demonstrations papers: 4 page limit
Brave new ideas papers: 8 page limit (typical around 6 pages)
Doctoral symposium papers: 4 page limit
Special session papers: 6 page limit

The specified paper lengths include all the paper information (also the acknowledgements and the bibliography sections). For any over-length submission, we reserve the right to reject it outright on administrative basis.

The language of the conference is English. Any paper whose language usage is not up to the academic standards, i.e., is not appropriate for the final ACM Digital Library proceedings, will be rejected outright. Please be kind to proofread your paper carefully before submission.
