Authors of accepted papers should have already received reviewer comments by email.
\nPlease take them into account carefully when preparing your camera-ready paper for the proceedings.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0final paper<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>and the signed\u00a0copyright form<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>are due on:<\/p>\n (Research, Industry, Tutorials, Grand Challenge, Poster and Demo, Doctoral Symposium)<\/p>\n This is a\u00a0firm deadline\u00a0<\/strong>for inclusion of your paper in the proceedings.<\/p>\n Furthermore, we must receive at least one non-student conference registration (DEBS 3 Days) for each paper, accepted in the research, industry, or grand challenge track by May 26th. For each accepted poster, demo or PhD symposium paper, there must be at least one student or non-student conference registration (DEBS 3 Days) received by May 26th. If the registration is not received in time, the paper will not be included in the proceedings.<\/p>\n The DEBS 2016 Proceedings will be published under ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) copyright, under their usual\u00a0copyright and permissions policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n The contact author of an accepted paper will receive an email with a link to the appropriate ACM electronic form to sign. The ACM form usually only takes moments to complete.\u00a0Please give this matter your\u00a0immediate attention, after you receive the link for the appropriate ACM copyrights and permissions form.<\/strong><\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Usually, only one ACM copyright form is needed, and it can be signed by the lead or contact author. A second form may be requested from co-presenters depending on any US or foreign government affiliations. The ACM Copyrights-Permission office will notify you if a second form is needed.<\/p>\n Please download the ACM \u201cACM_SigConf\u201d sample\/template word document from ACM: We strongly encourage you to review the sample file above so you will be aware of the mandatory sections, copyright strip information (see next step), formatting requirements, font requirements, font sizes, and spacing required for the final version.<\/p>\n The correct ACM DEBS 2017 copyright-permission notice needs to be inserted in the sample files above, see page 1, bottom of column 1 before you submit your final version. The ACM rights management process will email the lead author this information when the online ACM copyright form is completed. (See below.) There are three different forms of copyright block. You must use the one corresponding to what you selected during the rights management process.<\/p>\n Please double-check that your produced document matches the details in the email sent you by the rights management system, and that you have included your full DOI URL.<\/p>\n This statement must be in 7 point Libertine font, with the first paragraph text justified, with DEBS \u201917 (the venue acronym) in italics. Refer to the ACM_SigConf.pdf sample file to view how the ACM copyright statement should appear.<\/p>\n Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for pro t or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

Note: the main problem that occurs with submissions generated with\u00a0pdflatex\u00a0is that the fonts are not embedded properly. This most often occurs because vector images included from your LaTeX do not themselves embed their fonts. If we find problems with your PDF, and you are unable to submit a revised version with correctly embedded fonts, we may have to take a less desirable and less safe route: that you submit a PostScript (PS) version, from which we produce PDF.<\/p>\n Please use the \u201csigconf\u201d proceedings template in the acmart class that you find under\u00a02017 ACM Master Article Template<\/a>\u00a0for your submission.<\/p>\n The new ACM rights management options mean that the acmart class does not automatically generate the correct copyright block, but you can use some predefined templates. Therefore, please download the acmcopyright.sty from the ACM template page as well. The email received from the ACM rights management system will have informed you of your specific DOI. Unlike in the past, this now needs to be included in your copyright block. There are three different forms of copyright block. You must use the one corresponding to what you selected during the rights management process.<\/p>\n Please double-check that your produced document matches the details in the email sent to you by the rights management system, and that you have included your full DOI URL.<\/p>\n \\setcopyright{acmcopyright} \\setcopyright{acmlicensed} \\setcopyright{rightsretained} Type 1 or TrueType fonts must be used (this will usually happen by default). Inserting the following commands before your \\begin{document} will improve the page layout: Please continue reading for additional information on preparing your final paper including the requirements for Page Size, File Naming Scheme, ACM Classification Sections, Images, Figures, Illustrations, 3rd Party Material Permissions, Bad Breaks, Creating an ACM compliant PDF, Optional accompanying thumbnail image and caption.<\/p>\n The page size for this ACM publication is US Letter Portrait (8.5\u00d711 inches). Submissions that do not conform to the ACM SIG standards, templates, and formats will be returned to the author for corrections and\/or alterations.<\/p>\n Name your final submission according to the ACM convention: firstauthorlastname.pdf Must be in Initial Caps Meaning First Letter of the Main Words Should be Made Capital Letters Prefixes:<\/strong>\u00a0In order to distinguish different paper types, it is mandatory to prefix your title with Prior to submitting, be sure to update the final version of your PDF to include all authors full names, and correct affiliation names, location, and other information under the title of the paper. See the first page of the ACM sample pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n Authors must include a brief summary (abstract) of their work in the first section of their submission after the title, authors, and affiliation information on the first page. See the first page of the ACM sample pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n Authors must include all works cited in their submission in a\u00a0References<\/strong>\u00a0section at the end of the paper or extended abstract.\u00a0See page 4 of ACM sample pdf<\/a>. Also refer to the ACM citation style and reference formats<\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0\u201cCategories and Subject Descriptors\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cKeywords\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0are mandatory by ACM on the first page of your submission after the Abstract.\u00a0See the first page of the ACM sample pdf<\/a> for information about how these two sections should appear in your submission.<\/p>\n Read this section carefully<\/strong>. Your selections for the three sections are mandatory on the submission page when submitting your final version.<\/p>\n Categories and Subject Descriptors (Mandatory for the first page of your paper)<\/strong>: Make sure that your selection included on the first page of your paper are also chosen accordingly on the submission page.\u00a0Click here for information on the ACM Computing Classification Scheme<\/a>. The new templates enable you to import required indexing concepts for your article from the\u00a0ACM Computing Classification System (CCS)<\/a>\u00a0using an\u00a0indexing support tool<\/a>\u00a0found in the ACM Digital Library (DL) which generates the necessary LaTeX code once you have selected your terms.<\/p>\n Keywords:<\/strong> This section is your (author) choice of terms that you would like used to index your work.<\/p>\n Be sure you do not have bad page breaks or bad column breaks. One example of a bad column break is a widow<\/em>, which\u00a0occurs when the last line of a paragraph that begins at the bottom of one column appears by itself at the top of the next column). If this happens, tighten the previous column to bring it back, or force an additional line of text over to the next column.<\/p>\n Also make sure that\u00a0Section and Sub-section headings\u00a0have at least two lines of body text below them when they appear at the end of a page or column.<\/p>\n In the event any element used in your material contains the work of third-parties, it is the author\/presenter\u2019s responsibility to secure any necessary permissions and\/or licenses, and the authors will provide the same permissions in writing to the ACM. If the copyright holder requires a citation to a copyrighted work, it is the authors\u2019 responsibility to include the correct wording and citations to the copyrighted material in their submissions.<\/p>\n Below are some recommendations to ensure good print reproduction of the images, figures, and illustrations utilized in your submission.<\/p>\n Your final submission\u00a0MUST NOT<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>contain any footer or header string information at the top or bottom of each page, nor any page numbering. The submissions will be paginated in a determined order by the chairs and page numbers added to the PDF during the compiling, indexing, and pagination process.<\/p>\n It is the contact or submitting author\u2019s responsibility to be sure that any funding or special contribution acknowledgements are included in the final version submitted as required by any research, financial, or other grants received (by using the\u00a0\u201cAcknowledgements\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>section before the References section).\u00a0See page 4 of the sample pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n When your final version is ready, you need to upload your PDF file on or before May 19th using EasyChair. As an accepted author, you have access to the proceedings section of EasyChair.<\/p>\n You will see a confirmation screen after a successful upload to EasyChair. As well, a confirmation email will be sent to the contact\u2019s email address entered on the submission page.<\/p>\n If changes are needed, you will be contacted by one of the publication coordinators in case you need to fix something. If this is true, you will receive specific information about how to revise your submission to meet requirements, and a new deadline will be given to submit the corrected material. You are required by the chairs to adhere to this NEW deadline so publication is not delayed.<\/p>\n\n
