Abstract

Authors are strongly encouraged to include a brief summary (abstract) of their work in the first section of their submission after the title, authors, and affiliation information on the first page

ACM General Terms

ACM General Terms (see http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998/) are no longer required to be included in the ACM Digital Library. This non-mandatory section may be removed from the first page prior to submitting your final version

Page Size

The page size for this publication is US Letter Portrait (8-1/2x11 inches).

Bad Breaks

Be sure that there are no bad page or column breaks - no widows should occur (last line of a paragraph at the top of a column). If this happens either tighten the previous column or force a line over.

Section and Sub-section heads should remain with at least 2 lines of body text when near the end of a page or column.

No Page Numbering, Headers, & Footers

Your final submission MUST NOT contain any footer or header string information at the top or bottom of each page, nor any page numbering. The submissions will be paginated in a determined order by the chairs and page numbers added to the PDF during the compiling, indexing, and pagination process

Third Party Material

In the event any element used in your Material contains the work of third-party individuals, please know that it is the authors’/presenters’ responsibility to secure any necessary permission and/or licenses, and the authors will provide the same permissions in writing to ACM when completing the ACM copyright form.
If the copyright holder requires a citation to a copyrighted work, this is the authors’ responsibility to include the correct wording and citations to the copyrighted material in their submissions. Any material (i.e., figure, image, illustration, etc.) that you did not author/create is third party material and must be cited as such on the e-form as well as acknowledged in publication.
The proper credit acknowledgement includes the source and the copyright notice within the figure captions. For more information from ACM about 3rd party material, see: http://www.acm.org/publications/third-party-material

Images & Figures

These are recommendations to ensure good print reproduction of your images, figures, and illustrations utilized in your submission.

  • Colors and Black & White (Gray Scale) Print Testing. If you have any images in color, please print your paper out in black and white to ensure that the tones and screens used in your images or figures reproduce well in black and white, too. However, your images will appear in full color in the distributed electronic proceedings and in the ACM digital library.
  • Resolution & CMYK: We recommend images to be at least 300 or 600 dpi for quality reproduction and saved as .tif images. When creating or revising your images for inclusion in the paper, please be sure you choose CYMK and not RGB (as the color profile choice).
  • TIF (EPS) vs. JPG (JPEG) images: TIFs are preferred for press applications where quality takes priority over file size.
  • Rules/Lines: Rules used in your graphs, tables or charts must be at least 0.5+ pt. and black for quality reproduction. Finer lines and points than this will not reproduce well, even if you can see them on your laser printed hardcopy when checked -- your laser printers have a far lower resolution than the imagesetters that will be used.
  • Fonts: If your figure uses custom or any non-standard font, the characters may appear differently when printed in the proceedings. Remember to check your figure creation to ensure that all fonts are embedded or included in the figure correctly. Be sure that your images do not contain any Type 3 fonts.
  • Transparencies: If a figure or image is assembled from multiple images, the images must be embedded, layers flattened or grouped together properly in the file, not lined. Transparencies need to be flattened
Fonts

Type 1 or TrueType fonts must be used. Type 3 fonts are not allowed. TrueType fonts are allowable, but will be tested for any problems, which may need to be rectified. For help on obtaining the correct type of fonts, have a look at the ACM FAQ list: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/sigfaq#a14.
All fonts MUST be embedded within the PDF file.
Any PDF that is not deposited with fonts embedded will need to be corrected. In order to help you through this process, ACM has created documentation on how to embed your fonts: http://www.acm.org/publications/WORD%20to%20PDF%20instructions.txt. Please download the ACM Digital Library optimal distiller settings file: http://www.acm.org/publications/ACM.joboptions

Thumbnail Image

ACM requests a thumbnail image to identify your paper (often a representative segment of a figure in your paper) that will appear in the ACM DL only. This thumbnail image is "optional" and should be at least 72 dpi, 100 pixels wide in .jpg format (.jpg/.jpeg format ONLY). If you do submit a thumbnail image, a 20-30 word caption is needed for your thumbnail.
