Your submission should not be longer than two American letter (8.5×11 inches) pages.

Templates for you to prepare your article (using LaTeX, Word, or FrameMaker) are available from the ACM. You can get the templates from http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Important details about how to use those templates are in the templates section below.

Formatting Directions

We must have your original source file (.doc, .fm or .tex).

LaTeX users may also submit high-quality PDF files (generated with pdflatex) or Postscript but still need the original source file.

FrameMaker users must submit both Postscript and original source files.

Be sure that your .ps file is formatted for American Letter (8.5×11 inches).

Submissions that do not conform to these standards and formats will be returned to the author for corrections or alterations.

Check that you have no widowed or orphaned lines (i.e., the last line of paragraphs should not be at the top of a column or a new page). If you do then either tighten the previous column or force a line over.

Section and Sub-section heads should remain with at least two lines of body text when near the end of a page or column.
