More information on formatting the camera ready


As we are heading towards the camera-ready deadline, we would like to make some important points that will help you finalize your submissions.

  1. We are aware of the issues you are facing with regards to the new ACM format. We want to make it clear that any formatting issue will not affect our decisions, especially for the conditionally accepted papers.
  2. Macros: If you are having problems with macros, we recommend that it would be much safer if you just edit the template and ignore the macros for now.
  3. Paper Length: We know that the new format makes your papers longer than 8 pages. You can go up to 9 pages of main text (plus references).
  4. References: You will need to use “numbered” referencing in the new format. We were able to create an EndNote style based on the reference guidelines from http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/reference-formatting the formatting of the reference list requires formatting (paragraph 0.5cm hanging), but otherwise it seems to work. Please access the EndNote style here. [Courtesy: Bernd Ploderer]
  5. Footnote Issue: ACM now uses a Footnote for copyright notice, instead of a textbox. We suggest that you do not remove the footnote, as removing it will create issues with your copyright notice.

If you have faced any other issues, please let us know.
