INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL THE AUTHORS OF ACCEPTED PAPERS

Below we provide instructions for Copyright and Video recording  that are the same for all the papers. After that, specific requirements for each Type of Paper are provided.

Copyright release

  • We are planning to make the conference presentations available in the ACM Digital Library as “Auxiliary Materials” associated with your paper. However, you are not required to make your presentation available in this way. It is strictly optional.
  • If you do plan to allow the presentation to be entered into the ACM DL, be sure you answered “yes” to recording on the eRights form that you signed.
