- Fill out the copyright form, information on how to do this will be emailed to authors automatically in a separate mail.
- Adapt your stylesheet to the most recent ACM template, including bibliographic and copyright strip.
Complete rights management form
- Before submitting camera-ready papers, you need to complete the rights management form. You will be notified by email once these forms are available and ready to sign.
- As rights management emails are sent from an automated system, there is a chance that emails sent will wind up in SPAM folders. Please make sure that you and your authors set email SPAM settings to allow emails from “rightsreview@acm.org”.
Format paper
- Camera-ready papers should adhere to the ACM templates that can be found here: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Templates are provided for formatting papers in MS Word and LaTeX. In LaTeX, you should use \documentclass[sigconf, 10pt]{acmart}.
- Please do NOT number the pages of your camera-ready paper (by default page numbers are disabled in the ACM template).
