Finalize authors and paper title

Before you prepare for the final (camera-ready) version, please finalise the authors and paper title through hotcrp. The deadline for submitting the camera-ready version of your paper is October 31st.

Rights management form

• Before submitting camera-ready papers, you need to complete the rights management form. You will be notified by email once these forms are available and ready to sign.
• As rights management emails are sent from an automated system, there is a chance that emails sent will wind up in SPAM folders. Please make sure that you and your authors set email SPAM settings to allow emails from rightsreview@acm.org.
• Once you complete the rights management form, you will receive the correct rights management text and bibliographic strip to place within your paper. It is essential that you add the text into your paper.

Revise the paper

• You must revise the original submission to address the reviewers' concerns.
• Obtain an explicit approval of the final version from the shepherd (if applicable).
• Authors are encouraged to provide reproducibility instructions in a section in the appendix.

Format paper

• Full papers should be no more than 6 pages single-spaced pages for text and figures + unlimited pages for references and appendix.
• ACM templates can be found here: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. In TeX, you should use \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}.
• Note, the font size in the submission template was 10pt, the new template will use 9pt. Using the new ACM template means that you have more space, to address the comments by the reviewers and shepherds.
• Please do not group authors together.
• Please do NOT number the pages of your camera-ready paper (by default page numbers are disabled in the ACM template).
• You should provide keywords for your paper.
• You should provide proper indexing information in the final version according to the ACM Computing Classification System (CCS). More information about the ACM CCS is available on ACM CCS website.
• After completing ACM rights management form, you will be emailed the correct rights management text and bibliographic strip to place within your paper. It is essential that you add the text into your paper. Make use of the following TeX macros:
  • \copyrightyear{2023}
  • \acmYear{2023}
  • \setcopyright{acmlicensed}
  • \acmConference[DistributedML '23] {Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Distributed Machine Learning}{December 8, 2023}{Paris, France.}

  • \title[Short title]{Looooong title...}
  • \renewcommand{\shortauthors}{First author et al.}
• Avoid using any special characters or non-standard fonts. We must be able to display and print your submission exactly as we receive it using only standard tools and printers, thus you must embed all fonts in the PDF file. This is an ACM requirement.
