Quick and Dirty Instructions for the New ACM Typesetting Format acmart Class

1 Quick and Dirty Instructions for New ACM Typesetting Format acmart Class Rasit Eskicioglu Retired Publication Chair for SenSys and BuildSys and affiliated Workshops September 2018 Preamble Since April 2017, ACM has adopted a unified format (acmart.cls) for its publications. The newcomers to communities should have no problem using it, as it will be just right template to use. This new format has several important changes that might confuse particularly seasoned members of Sensys and Buildsys communities and of ir affiliated workshops, who have been accustomed to old (slightly modified) sig-alternate.cls style. One such change is that all ACM conference proceedings are now using 9pt fonts for main text. This new style uses several packages and free fonts (Linbiolinum and LibLiberte), which are available in all major TEX distributions (TEXLive, MikTEX, MacTEX) 2015 and later. If you have older distributions, your documents will not have proper fonts. Important Rules 1. The preferred format is LATEX. If you are not an avid LATEX user, you can use new Word format, but make sure to read User Guide (1) carefully, and install new Linbiolinum and LinLiberte fonts that comes with package. 2. Read User Guide (1). Read it again, especially if you were using old style. 3. Do not change anything in acmart.cls file. 4. Do not change any length, such as \textlength, \texight, or any margin in body of your paper. 5. Look at sample-sigconf.tex and create your own with all relevant information and include body of your manuscript at end. 6. The ACM-Reference-format block provides proper and full citation information of your manuscript (if published) and it is required for all manuscripts (regular or short papers, as well as demo and poster abstracts). Do not set printacmref to false to disable it to save space, because you will be asked to include it for your Camera Ready manuscript. 7. ACM now uses CCS Categories (replacing Terms) block in all publications. This block, as well as Keywords are required for all short or regular papers (not needed for demo or poster abstracts). Please provide proper content for m (see User Guide for details). Top Matter The details are on pages 8 9 of User Guide (1), but please note that ACM discourages use of merged authors block, such as shown below: Please note that examples and some content in this document reflect recent SenSys 2018 and SenSys and BuildSys communities, suggestions are also applicable to ACM editions (odd years) of CPS-IoT Week Conferences, particularly ISPN. 1

3 Author Anonymity In most conferences, submission are reviewed by using eir blind (reviewers are hidden from authors) or double blind (reviewers don t know identity of author(s), and author(s) don t know identity of reviewers) policies. The authors should use anonymous option of acmart.cls to hide ir identity: SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format This is a Very Long Title That will not Fit in One Line ABSTRACT This paper provides a sample of a LATEX document which conforms, somewhat loosely, to formatting guidelines for ACM SIG Proceedings 1.

Please note that you may need to put \balance towards end of body of your manuscript file. Running Headers One of changes in new style is running heads.

5 To avoid long conference title problem, use one of following \acmconference{} tags for SenSys 18 and BuildSys 18, respectively: \acmconference[sensys'18]{the 16th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems}{November 4--7, 2018} {Shenzhen, China} \acmconference[buildsys'18]{the 5th International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments} {November 7--8, 2018}{Shenzhen, China} Furr, if you have a long title, use optional ShortTitle in \title. As a rule-of-thumb, if your title is longer than a single column width, it should be shortened. \title[sig Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format]{SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format---This is a Very Long Title That will not Fit in One Line} And if you have three or more authors (or list is longer than a a single column width), use following with first author s names: \renewcommand{\shortauthors}{f. LastName et al.} Lastly, use names and last names of authors in authors block consistently. Pick one of ways shown below and use it consistently everywhere, including your bibliographies: Ben Travato B. Travato Lawrence P. Leipuner L.P. Leipuner Gordon K.M. Tobin G.K.M. Tobin Bibliographies and Citations Regular staff of institutions, such as ACM and IEEE, review manuscripts for ir archival journals to provide consistency and coherency in those publications. All or publications, such as conference proceedings and newsletters, are typically compiled by different volunteers, leading to various inconsistencies. Recently, ACM requires an additional block, ACM Reference format:, in every publication to make citation process easier. However, this is only one side of coin, as we have to provide or side by properly citing our references. Most common error is to use incomplete references to save space in body of a paper. Keep in mind that ACM uses natbib package and ACM-Reference-Format.bst for processing references. Check User Guide (1) (Section 2.10 Bibliography) and make sure that you provide all required fields for each bib entry. Acknowledgements If you have to acknowledge someone or something in your manuscript, please insert your message between \begin{acks} and \end{acks}. This is no longer a \section in manuscript. Balanced Columns Although not enforced by ACM, SenSys and BuildSys communities have been balancing columns on last page of each paper by using balance package. Admittedly, this might be tricky at times, but output is much nicer as can be seen below: 5
