Submission Guidelines
Regular papers
-
Papers and abstracts have to be submitted via easychair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=issac2018).
The website for the abstract submission and the paper submission is the same,
i.e. you will not find a distinct area for the abstract submission.
-
You can submit your abstract first, and then override your submission with the full paper.
It is to be remarked that you do not need to first submit an abstract prior to the paper if your paper is
ready by the abstract submission deadline.
The abstract submission possibility serves the purpose to provide authors with more time
to complete their papers while the program committee can begin to find suitable reviewers
based on the overview they obtain from the abstracts.
-
Papers must be in English and should not exceed 8 pages in the ACM conference proceedings style.
Note that ACM has recently updated its style files.
Papers should be prepared using the acmart class using the sigconf option.
A template is available here.
The acmart class is contained in most LaTeX distributions. If you don't have it, you can obtain it from
here.
This site also contains installation instructions.
Alternatively, you can fetch the most recent version of the class files from
github
or use a preinstalled setup on
overleaf.
-
Submissions in other article styles are also accepted, but the final version must be at most 8 pages
when compiled in sigconf document class (equivalent to about 17 pages of letter size paper, typeset in 12pt with normal spacing and reasonably large margins).
Extended abstracts are not allowed. Papers may have an appendix that may be read by the reviewers and PC members at their discretion, but will not be included in the published version of the paper.
