Additional steps:
- Copyright form: All contact authors should have received an email (after you have set the meta-data) with a link to the appropriate electronic ACM copyright form. The ACM e-form usually only takes moments to complete. Please check if the title and author list on the copyright form match to your camera-ready submission and change it accordingly if necessary. The information entered in the ACM copyright system is final and must be used as is in your paper. Therefore, please ensure that it is correct and amend if necessary before submitting the copyright form. If the contact author(s) have not received the link yet, please send an email to publication2017(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)auto-ui.org as soon as possible to request the link.

- Once you have submitted your final version and copyright statement, we will process your submission. You will then either receive an email telling you (a) That everything is in order with your submission. –OR– (b) That you must fix something before it is final. If this is the case, you will receive specific information about how to revise your submission to meet the requirements, and a new deadline will be given to submit the corrected material. You are kindly required to adhere to this NEW deadline to not delay the publication.
Detailed formatting instructions and information to be included within your submission
Please use the following checklist to prepare your camera-ready version:
| Title | Must be in Initial Caps Meaning First Letter of the Main Words Should be Made Capital Letters. Capitalize the first letter of all words except articles and conjunctions in the title. Typical exceptions are articles (a, an, the etc.), conjunctions (and, but, or, for etc.), and prepositions (of, to, in, on etc.), unless these are the first word in the title. You may use http://capitalizemytitle.com/ (‘Chicago Style’) to check your title. Make sure that it is exactly the same as on the copyright statement and in the submission system! |
| Authors’ Complete Names | Make sure that every author’s name is entered correctly for spelling, accents, and the fields filled in properly for each authors’ first, middle, and last (surname/family) names. Make sure that the order and spelling are exactly the same as on the copyright statement and in the submission system! |
| Every Author’s Email Address | Please enter the correct email address for all authors of your paper. Make sure that the order and spelling are exactly the same as on the copyright statement and in the submission system! |
| Authors’ Affiliation Information | Make sure that every author’s affiliation is entered properly (spelling and correct affiliation name), including department or lab (if any in its appropriate field), main institution or corporate affiliation, as well as the specific location (city, state/province, and country). Make sure that the order and spelling are exactly the same as on the copyright statement and in the submission system! |
| Abstract | Authors are required 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 |
| Author Keywords | Please note that the Author Keywords section is mandatory to be included on the first page of your paper. Semi-colons must be used to separate keywords. Please capitalize only the first letter of the first keyword and sort your keywords alphabetically. |
| ACM 2012 Classification Keywords (CCS Concepts) | ACM Classification Keywords are mandatory and must be included on the first page of your submission. Have a look at: http://www.acm.org/about/class/2012 for formatting the ACM Classification Keywords. |
| ACM General Terms | ACM General Terms 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 |
| References | Authors are strongly encouraged to include all works cited in their work/submission in a References section at the end of the paper. Please have a close look at the different reference types in the sample file and make sure to include the same details (e.g., DOIs, full conference names, page numbers etc.). Using Google Scholar to extract bibtex-Snippets is discouraged since it may generate incomplete and incorrect references. Similarly, the default settings of many bibliography tools (for Word) DO NOT generate the correct references. We highly encourage to use the publication details as they are provided by the original publisher (e.g., look up the BIBTEX strip for ACM publications in the ACM Digital Library). |
| Page Size | The page size for this publication is US Letter (8.5×11 inches). If you use LaTeX and your normal paper format is A4, please change it accordingly |
| 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. LaTeX users:Using these two lines of code with the ACM copyright/cr data coding will help reduce or eliminate the appearance of bad breaks (widows & section head breaks): \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty = 10000 Word Users: To rectify this add or remove some text above –or– increase the leading between some paragraphs –or– increase/decrease the size of an image or table on the previous page. |
| 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.
|
| Fonts | Type 1 or TrueType fonts must be used. Type 3 fonts are not allowed (type 3 fonts are generated by bitmaps and therefore display poorly in PDFs). TrueType fonts are allowable, but will be tested for any problems, which may need to be rectified. All fonts MUST be embedded within the PDF file. In most cases, the process of creating a PDF will automatically embed the fonts. However, in some cases, this may not occur. Any PDF that is deposited without fonts embedded will need to be corrected. For more information, please visit: http://www.sigaccess.org/welcome-to-sigaccess/resources/accessible-pdf-author-guide/ |
| 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. |
| Program Description or Contribution & Benefit Statement | This is a 30-word description of your paper to encourage people to attend your talk. It will be included in the digital conference program to help attendees decide what sessions to attend. It does not need to appear in your paper. It’s a great way to encourage people to come to your talk. |
| Summary of Changes | Please provide a brief summary of changes you have made in preparation for final submission to address comments from the AC. There is text box provided during the submission process to do this. This summary will assist ACs in determining whether the terms of conditional acceptance have been satisfied. In case of a conditional acceptance, please provide additional details as indicated by the assigned program committee member. |
