Submissions

Regular papers:  Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers. Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed. The program committee will blindly review submissions to the track. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. SA-TTA track chairs will not submit to the track. Submissions from SA-TTA PC members and track chairs of other SAC tracks are welcome.

Paper submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via the ACM SAC online submission system. The maximum length for papers is 6 pages, with the option for up to 2 additional pages at cost (US$80 per page). Further details on the paper format and submission guidelines can be found on the SAC 2014 website.

Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings. Paper registration for the conference is required and allows the paper to be printed in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of scheduled papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM digital library.


Student Research Abstracts: Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (minimum of 2-pages and maximum of 4-pages) in the SA focus area through the ACM SAC online submission system for the Student Research Competition (SRC).

Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed. All research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and practitioners with expertise in SA. Authors of selected abstracts will have the opportunity to  give poster presentations of their work and compete for three top-winning places. The SRC committee will evaluate and select First-, Second-, and Third- place winners. The winners will receive cash awards and SIGAPP recognition certificates during the conference banquet. Authors of selected abstracts are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel Award program for support.

Please, for more details see the web page for the SRC program.
