Submission instructions

Double-blind reviewing

Research papers will be judged through double-blind reviewing.
The identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.
Thus, author names and affiliations must not appear in research papers, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity.

Presentation at the conference

Full papers:

Accepted full papers are expected to be orally presented at the conference session. Each paper has allocated 25 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion.

Posters and demos:

A whole session in the conference will be devoted to posters/demos. Each demo/poster will also be given the opportunity of a 5 minutes presentation to "attract" the audience. Accepted poster papers are expected to be presented at the conference poster session. A suitable form of poster is a large (A0-A1) piece of paper with concise schema sumarizing the paper contribution. We strongly discourage to use posters in form of printed papers. An accepted demo paper is expected to be presented at the conference demo session. The demo presentation will be performed on an on-site notebook (or the presenter's notebook) with a high-speed connection to internet. Optionally, there will be a data projector and a projection wall available.

Final version submission instructions

Papers must be submitted as pdf files and must not exceed 8 pages (full papers), or 2 pages (posters or demos) and must adhere to the standard ACM SIG Proceedings format. Formatting instructions and LaTeX/Word macros are available on the ACM site.

Please note that, since all the papers have to be included in the ACM DL, authors have to be very careful in embedding all the fonts within their PDF file. Authors may want to have a look at the following FAQ.

Some have also reported that the online tool PDF converter is usually successful in generating well-formed PDFs.

It is possible to see if ia paper includes un-embedded fonts by looking (in Acrobat reader) at "File -> Properties -> Fonts" and checking whether all fonts are "Type 1" and "(Embedded subset)".
