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 com- munities 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 distri- butions (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. 1 SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format∗ SIG Proceedings Paper inExtended LaTeX Abstract Format—This† is a Very Long ∗ TitleBen That Trovato will G.K.M. not Tobin Fit Lars in ThørväldOne Line Institute for Clarity in Documentation, P.O.
