Camera-Ready Instructions

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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 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 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

Authors are strongly encouraged to include all works cited in their work/submission in a References section at the end of the paper or note. 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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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 (type 3 fonts are generated by bitmaps and therefore display poorly in PDFs).
• 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.

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/

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.

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.
