1.INTRODUCTION
The proceedings are the records of the conference. ACM hopes to
give these conference by-products a single, high-quality
appearance. To do this, we ask that authors follow some simple
guidelines. In essence, we ask you to make your paper look
exactly like this document. The easiest way to do this is simply
to down-load a template from [2], and replace the content with
your own material.

2.PAGE SIZE
All material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18 x
23.5 cm (7" x 9.25"), centered on the page, beginning 2.54 cm
(1") from the top of the page and ending with 2.54 cm (1") from
the bottom. The right and left margins should be 1.9 cm (.75”).
3.TYPESET TEXT two centered tabs, and so on. For more than three authors, you
may have to improvise.1
3.1Normal or Body Text
Please use a 9-point Times Roman font, or other Roman font
with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times Roman in 3.3First Page Copyright Notice
which these guidelines have been set. The goal is to have a 9- Please leave 3.81 cm (1.5") of blank text box at the bottom of the
point text, as you see here. Please use sans-serif or non- left column of the first page for the copyright notice.
proportional fonts only for special purposes, such as
distinguishing source code text. If Times Roman is not available, 3.4Subsequent Pages
try the font named Computer Modern Roman. On a Macintosh, For pages other than the first page, start at the top of the page,
use the font named Times. Right margins should be justified, not and continue in double-column format. The two columns on the
ragged. last page should be as close to equal length as possible.

3.2Title and Authors Table 1. Table captions should be placed above the table
The title (Helvetica 18-point bold), authors' names (Helvetica 12-
point) and affiliations (Helvetica 10-point) run across the full Graphics Top In-between Bottom
width of the page – one column wide. We also recommend phone
number (Helvetica 10-point) and e-mail address (Helvetica 12- Tables End Last First
point). See the top of this page for three addresses. If only one Figures Good Similar Very well
address is needed, center all address text. For two addresses, use

3.5References and Citations

Footnotes should be Times New Roman 9-point, and justified to
the full width of the column.
Use the “ACM Reference format” for references – that is, a
numbered list at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically and
formatted accordingly. See examples of some typical reference
types, in the new “ACM Reference format”, at the end of this
document. Within this template, use the style named references
for the text. Acceptable abbreviations, for journal names, can be
found here: http://library.caltech.edu/reference/abbreviations/

The references are also in 9 pt., but that section (see Section 7) is
ragged right. References should be published materials
accessible to the public. Internal technical reports may be cited
only if they are easily accessible (i.e. you can give the address to
obtain the report within your citation) and may be obtained by
any reader. Proprietary information may not be cited. Private
communications should be acknowledged, not referenced (e.g.,
“[Robertson, personal communication]”).

3.6Page Numbering, Headers and Footers

Do not include headers, footers or page numbers in your
submission. These will be added when the publications are
assembled.

4.FIGURES/CAPTIONS
Place Tables/Figures/Images in text as close to the reference as
possible (see Figure 1). It may extend across both columns to a
maximum width of 17.78 cm (7”).
Captions should be Times New Roman 9-point bold. They
should be numbered (e.g., “Table 1” or “Figure 2”), please note
that the word for Table and Figure are spelled out. Figure’s

not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies
bear this notice and the full citation on the first page. To copy otherwise, or
republish, to post on servers or to redistribute to lists, requires prior specific
permission and/or a fee.
