Formatting instructions for
final paper submissions:
The final PODS
submissions should be emailed as PDF files (the only accepted format) to Alin Deutsch at deutsch@cs.ucsd.edu.
The PDF files must be prepared using the templates at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
The size-limit is 12 pages for full papers. In addition,
please update your copyright block (at the lower left of the
first page of your submission) to include the following
information:
"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 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.
PODS 2004, June 14–16, 2004, Paris,
France.
Copyright 2004 ACM 1-58113-858-X/04/06
…$5.00."
We have
prepared template files which include this text automatically,
for users of LaTeX
[Click
here for Sig-Alternate.cls] [Click
here for Acm_proc_article-sp.cls]
and Word [Click
here for pubform.doc]. When using LaTeX, please make sure
that the LaTeX .tex files used to not contain directives
("\conferenceinfo", "\CopyrightYear", or
"\crdata") to overwrite the defaults in the style file
Please note that for government papers, a different
copyright block is needed. For the necessary changes, please
see http://www.acm.org/sig_volunteer_info/conference_manual/6-5PROC.HTM.
Note:
Although the ACM templates include headings for
"Categories and Subject Descriptors", "General
Terms", and "Keywords" these are not used by PODS
and can be omitted from your submitted paper.
Papers must
be in PDF. It is essential that they print without difficulty
on a variety of printers using Adobe Acrobat
Reader. Therefore, authors must be sure that any special
fonts are included, etc. It is the absolute responsibility of
the authors to ensure that their submitted paper is in PDF and
will print easily.
Fonts:
Type 1 vs. bitmapped fonts. Authors
should substitute Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts for any bitmap
fonts (e.g., Postscript Type 3 bitmapped fonts, PCL fonts,
MacOS bitmap fonts, Windows vector (outline) fonts). Bitmapped
fonts display poorly on screen in PDF files and sometimes
cause printing problems.
LaTEX FILES: PDFs generated from LaTEX
files generally do not display well on screen because the
fonts that are generated from LaTEX for the PDFs are bitmap
images.
Whenever possible, please substitute
Type 1 Postscript fonts for Type 3 fonts in LaTEX files, then
generate PS or PDF. The following document, available on
Adobe’s Web site, provides detailed information on
substituting Adobe Type 1 fonts into some LaTEX papers to
correct this problem. This information may or may not be
applicable for your conference papers. See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/543e.htm. In addition, the American Mathematical Society (AMS)
has made a Type 1 version of the Computer Modern outline font
freely available for download at its Web site. Go to:
http://www.ams.org/tex/type1-fonts.html.
