Submission Guidelines

Submission is managed electronically through .conf.

Please go carefully through the instructions below before preparing and submitting your paper.

Papers must not be concurrently under revision for any other publication.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Authors will need to sign an ACM copyright release form. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and distributed at the workshop.

Please be sure your paper is formatted properly for submission. In particular, please note the following format requirements:

  • Your submission must be in PDF format. Whatever text processor or formatter you use to write your paper (LaTeX, Microsoft Word, FrameMaker, etc.), please convert the output to PDF before submission.
  • Your submission must be correctly formatted to fit on U.S. "Letter" size paper, which is 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall. Please be sure you have a margin of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page.
  • Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions.
  • The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points.
  • Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected.
  • We must be able to print your paper once it is submitted. Due to the large variety of systems available for formatting papers and producing PDF, this is not always possible for some systems. To maximize the chances that your paper will print correctly, please use only standard printer fonts (e.g., Times Roman, Helvetica, etc.) or standard TeX Computer Modern fonts; other fonts may be used but must be included in the PDF file. The use of standard printer fonts is strongly preferred over TeX fonts, if possible.
  • The paper must be able to print clearly on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to view your paper in color, and the final version of all accepted papers will be published in only black-and-white in the workshop Proceedings.
