Abstract and Paper Submission

Proceedings and New ACM Templates

The SCA25 Technical Conference accepted papers will be published as part of the ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS). ACM is changing the archive format of its publications to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library, enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. The new Primary template and Publication Workflow were designed to ease the burden on authors and those managing events. Accepted authors are required to upload their source files directly to The ACM Production System (TAPS).

After completing their e-Rights form, authors will be emailed the complete rights text and bibliographic strip that must be added to their paper. Please be aware that there are different file preparation instructions for Word and LaTeX template users: https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions

ICPS authors must use the “sigconf” call when using the ACM LaTeX Authoring template: “\documentclass[sigconf, screen, review]{acmart}”

Please be aware that ACM has introduced a new ACM Primary Article Templates and Publication Workflow. All authors will need to refer to the new proceedings templates: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow

Questions regarding the ACM authoring templates MUST be referred to the ACM TeX support team at Aptara, at [email protected]

Authors who have successfully completed their e-Rights forms will be instructed to upload their source files directly to The ACM Production System (TAPS). TAPS will generate output in PDF and HTML formats, which the authors will need to review and approve.

Online Submission System

Authors submitting papers for SCA25 Technical Conference must submit them via Linklings.

Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 18 pages in PDF format including figures and references, formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Style and submitted through Linklings. Submitted papers must contain original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. The review process is double-blind. There will be no revision/rebuttal process and the review will be one-pass.

Submission Format

All authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single column format. Manuscripts must be at most 18 pages in PDF format including figures and references, formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Style. The ACM templates for Word and LaTeX are shown below. Also, ACM has partnered with Overleaf and the ACM LaTeX template on Overleaf platform is available.

Please follow STEP 1 (Microsoft Word/LaTeX) at “2. The Workflow and Templates” in https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. Please note that there are two different instructions for Word and LaTeX template users.

Proceedings

All accepted papers will be published by ACM and included in ACM digital library if presented at the conference.

Camera-ready submission

The submission of camera-ready manuscripts consists of the following steps.

Please complete all steps no later than 24 January 2025 otherwise your paper will not be available at the time of the conference.

Complete your e-Rights form first.

Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication will receive an email from [email protected] regarding the copyright transfer (check your spam settings if you do not receive it). Please indicate on the e-rights form which copyright form you would like to select. If payment is required (Open Access is selected), please complete the payment. If you do not complete this step, you will not receive an e-mail with the DOI or the TAPS link, and you will not be able to proceed to step 2 and beyond. Please complete this step first.

Add the complete rights text and bibliographic strip to your camera-ready manuscript.

After completing their e-Rights form, authors will be emailed the complete rights text and bibliographic strip that must be added to their paper. Please add them to your camera-ready manuscript.

Upload your camera-ready manuscript to The ACM Publishing System (TAPS).

Authors who have successfully completed their e-Rights forms will be instructed to upload their source files directly to The ACM Production System (TAPS). This system will generate the final published version in two-column format, but you must upload your submission in single-column format (Before uploading, it is recommended that you use the “sigconf” option to check in advance that there are no problems with the layout of the two-column paper that will be generated by TAPS). Please see TAPS Workflow for more detail.

Once again, we remind you that all of these steps must be completed, no later than 24 January 2025.  In other words, please make sure that your manuscript has been approved by TAPS by the deadline. If approved, you will see the status become 100%.
