This venue

CCS Concepts are required for reviewer matching; keywords too. SIG venues in DM/IR/Web often draft here first.

Most ACM conferences are double-blind; restore names on camera-ready. Artifact evaluation is increasingly common—check if the target SIG encourages artifacts.

Length

Often ~10 pages of content, references uncounted—but some SIGs are shorter. Read that CFP.

Review

Most ACM conferences are double-blind. Strip names, acknowledgments, and identifying repos for review; restore the rights form on camera-ready.

Typesetting

Official ACM two-column 10pt conference template—do not squeeze margins. Numeric cites. Paste CCS concepts from the ACM classifier. Abstracts often ≤ 250 words. Artifact evaluation is encouraged.

Before you write

  • Page cap matches that SIG CFP.
  • CCS Concepts filled.
  • Still anonymous for review.
  • Conference template, not a journal ACM option.

Official pages

Summarized from public calls (as of 2026-09). Always match the CFP you are submitting to.

FAQ

ACM vs IEEE conference?
Follow the target SIG CFP—ACM needs CCS Concepts; IEEE page rules often differ.
How do I fill CCS Concepts?
Generate from the ACM classifier—reviewers use them for matching.
Is artifact evaluation required?
Often encouraged; prepare runnable artifacts if the SIG runs AE.
