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are invited to submit original unpublished papers.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 2015
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 SAC 2015 website.
