Quick and Dirty Instructions for the New ACM Typesetting Format—Acmart Class∗

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

Rasit Eskicioglu “Retired” Publication Chair for SenSys and BuildSys and aliated Workshops September 2018

Preamble Since April 2017, ACM has adopted a unied format (acmart.cls) for its publications. The newcomers to the communities should have no problem using it, as it will be just the right template to use. This new format has several important changes that might confuse particularly seasoned members of the Sensys and Buildsys communities and of their aliated workshops, who have been accustomed to the old (slightly modied) sig-alternate.cls style. One such change is that all ACM conference proceedings are now using 9pt fonts for the 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 the new Word format, but make sure to read the User Guide (1) carefully, and install the new Linbiolinum and LinLiberte fonts that comes with the package. 2. Read the User Guide (1). Read it again, especially if you were using the old style. 3. Do not change anything in the acmart.cls le. 4. Do not change any length, such as \textlength, \textheight, or any margin in the body of your paper. 5. Look at the sample-sigconf.tex and create your own with all the relevant information and include the body of your manuscript at the end. 6. The ACM-Reference-format block provides proper and full citation information of your manuscript (if pub- lished) 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 them (see the User Guide for details).

Top Matter The details are on pages 8–9 of the User Guide (1), but please note that ACM discourages the use of “merged” authors block, such as shown below:

∗Please note that the examples and some content in this document reect the recent SenSys 2018 and SenSys and BuildSys communities, the suggestions are also applicable to the ACM editions (odd years) of the CPS-IoT Week Conferences, particularly the ISPN.

2 Author Anonymity In most conferences, submission are reviewed by using either blind (reviewers are hidden from the authors) or double blind (reviewers don’t know the identity of the author(s), and the author(s) don’t know the identity of the reviewers) policies.

The authors should use anonymous option of the acmart.cls to hide their identity:

Now, we’ll enter an unnumbered equation: math following this sentence is the point at which Table 2 is included in ∞ the input le; again, it is instructive to compare the placement of x + 1 the table here with the table in the printed output of this document. =0 Õi It is strongly recommended to use the package booktabs [? ] and and follow it with another numbered equation: follow its main principles of typography with respect to tables: +2 ∞ π (1) Never, ever use vertical rules. xi = f (2) 0 (2) Never use double rules. Õi=0 ¹ just to demonstrate LATEX’s able handling of numbering. It is also a good idea not to overuse horizontal rules.

2.3 Citations 2.5 Figures Citations to articles [???? ], conference proceedings [? ] or maybe Like tables, gures cannot be split across pages; the best placement books [?? ] listed in the Bibliography section of your article will for them is typically the top or the bottom of the page nearest their occur throughout the text of your article. You should use BibTeX to initial cite. To ensure this proper “oating” placement of gures, automatically produce this bibliography; you simply need to insert use the environment gure to enclose the gure and its caption. one of several citation commands with a key of the item cited in the This sample document contains examples of .eps les to be A A 4Another footnote, here.

Note that most modern TEX systems will convert .eps To avoid “long conference title” problem, use one of the 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}

Further, if you have a long title, use the optional ShortTitle in the \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 the list is longer than a a single column width), use the following with the rst author’s names:

\renewcommand{\shortauthors}{F. LastName et al.}

Lastly, use the names and last names of the authors in the “authors block” consistently. Pick one of the 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 sta of the institutions, such as ACM and IEEE, review manuscripts for their archival journals to provide consistency and coherency in those publications. All other publications, such as conference proceedings and newslet- ters, are typically compiled by dierent volunteers, leading to various inconsistencies. Recently, ACM requires an additional “block”, ACM Reference format:, in every publication to make the citation process easier. However, this is only one side of the coin, as we have to provide the other side by properly citing our references. Most common error is to use incomplete references to save space in the body of a paper. Keep in mind that ACM uses the natbib package and the ACM-Reference-Format.bst for processing references. Check the User Guide (1) (Section 2.10 Bibliography) and make sure that you provide all the required elds for the 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 the manuscript.

Balanced Columns Although not enforced by ACM, SenSys and BuildSys communities have been balancing the columns on the last page of each paper by using the balance package. Admittedly, this might be tricky at times, but the output is much nicer as can be seen below:
