ACM Classification Sections
Your selections for these three sections is mandatory on the submission page and mandatory to be included on the first/second page of your extended abstract. If the submission page and the first page of your paper/abstract do not match, your file will be returned to you for revision.
ACM Classification Keywords: Make sure that your selection included on the first page of your paper after Authors' Keywords are also chosen properly on the submission page. Click here for info on the ACM Computing Classification Scheme.
General Terms: You must choose from these 16 terms Algorithms, Design, Documentation, Economics, Experimentation, Human Factors, Languages, Legal Aspects, Management, Measurement, Performance, Reliability, Security, Standardization, Theory, Verification. Click here for info on the ACM General Terms.
Authors' Keywords: This section is your (author) choice of terms you would like to be indexed by and are mandatory on the submission page, but are NOT mandatory to be included on the first page.
Meaning no widows (last line of a paragraph at the top of a column). If this happens either tighten the previous column or force a line over.
Section and Sub-section heads should remain with at least 2 lines of body text when near the end of a page or column.
(a) Colors and Black & White (Gray Scale) Print Testing. If you have any images in color, we suggest that you print your paper out in black and white to ensure that the tones and screens used in your images or figures reproduce well in black and white. Your images will and may appear in color in the electronic proceedings, in color in the ACM Portal (digital library), but in grayscale in any print proceedings.
(b) Resolution & CMYK: We recommend images to be at least 300 or 600 dpi for quality reproduction and saved as .tif images. When creating or revising your images for inclusion in the paper, please be sure you choose CMYK and not RGB (as the color profile choice).
(c) TIF (EPS) vs JPG (JPEG) images: TIFs were (and should be created) created for pre-press applications where quality takes priority over file size. While TIFs can be compressed (LZW compression option when saving out of Photoshop, for example), no image data is lost, thus ensuring maximum quality. JPEG was designed as a compressed image format designed to keep the file size small which makes it idea for use in web graphics. To do this, the JPEG format actually deletes image data from the image. The higher the level of compression, the more data is removed. This is referred to as a lossy compression system. On a printout, the removed data tends to show up as blocky areas of a solid color. At higher resolutions (a minimum of 200 dpi), there's usually enough data in the JPEG file for the compression artifacts to be very noticeable.
(d) Rules/Lines: We recommend for quality reproduction of rules in your graphs, tables or charts, that the rules are at least a 0.5 pt. and black. Finer lines and points than this will not reproduce well, even if you can see them on your laser printed hardcopy when checked -- bear in mind that your laser printers have a far lower resolution than the imagesetters that will be used.
(e) Fonts: If your figure uses custom or any non-standard font, the characters may appear differently when printed in the proceedings. Remember to check your figure creation that all fonts are embedded or included in the figure correctly.
(f) Transparencies: If a figure or image is assembled from multiple images, the images must be embedded, layers flattened or grouped together properly in the file, not lined. Transparencies should also be flattened.
