Workshop Paper Submission Guidelines

SIGCOMM requires that workshop papers not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, and that submissions not be previously published. Authors of accepted papers will need to sign an ACM copyright release form. Electronic copies of the camera-ready papers will be published on the conference web site before the conference, unless authors specifically request that this not be done.

   
Formatting Guidelines
All submissions must follow strictly the format and size constraints indicated below. Your goal as an author is to produce a clearly readable submission within these constraints. Please refrain from exceeding these limits, because longer submissions and/or papers with modified margins or fonts will not be reviewed.
  • The page limit is determined by the individual workshop:  different workshops have different page limits.  The page limit is the same for submissions and camera-ready.
  • Submissions MUST be  in 10 point Times Roman (or equivalent font).
  • Submissions MUST follow ACM guidelines: double column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space between columns.
  • Each column MUST contain no more than 55 lines of text.
  • NOTE: For the submission, please do not use the SIG template; just use the standard latex 'article' format in 10 point double column, so that pages are numbered.
  • The final camera-ready copy will be using the SIGCOMM standard 9 pt format; since the page limit is the same for submission and camera-ready, you will have more space for the camera-ready:  this is intentional, as works-in-progress may change somewhat between submission and camera-ready.
  • Number the pages.
  • The front page should include authors' names and afilliations.
  • The paper must be submitted in PDF format. Other formats (including Postscript) will not be accepted this year. We must be able to display and print your submission exactly as we receive it, using only standard tools (Adobe Acrobat Reader), with no loading of special fonts.
  • Make sure that the paper prints well on black-and-white printers, not color printers. This is especially true for plots and graphs in the paper.
  • Make sure that the output has been formatted for printing on LETTER (8.5" by 11") size paper.
  • Make sure that symbols and labels used in the graphs are readable as printed, and not only with a 20x on-screen magnification.
  • Try to limit the file size to less than 15 MB.
