The ACM International Conference Proceedings Series ACM is pleased to announce a new concept in Conference Proceedings publishing. The goal of this program is to enable conferences and workshops to cost effectively produce print proceedings for their attendees, while also providing maximum dissemination of the material through electronic channels, specifically, the ACM Digital Library. Here is an outline of how the program works: Conference Organizers must fill in and submit the form below. The ACM Publications Board will review proposals from conference organizers to determine whether the conference proceedings are suitable for publication by ACM. The Publications Board will work with ACM Staff to solicit support of appropriate ACM Special Interest Groups (SIGs) should overlap of interests occur. Upon acceptance, ACM Staff then works with the conference organizers to understand the requirements for the proceedings. Based on the input of the organizers (# of copies needed, estimation of pages, color, etc.) ACM will use the leverage it has with the vendors to get very reasonable prices for printing and shipping the proceedings to the location of the conference, or wherever the organizers choose. The proceedings volume is identified as being part of the ACM International Proceedings Series, lending ACM's imprimatur to this publication. ACM does not intend to carry any inventory or to sell hard copies; rather ACM will put the full-text of the proceedings papers into the ACM Digital Library, under the heading of the "ACM International Conference Proceedings". There are over 32,000 individual subscribers to the DL, and over 2000 library subscriptions. This guarantees that the proceedings will be available to the widest possible audience of computing professionals. The relevant rights expressed in the ACM Rights and Responsibilities Policy (http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html) would apply to the proceedings, such as availability at low cost, taking into account the needs of readers in economically emerging countries and in economically undeveloped countries enabling fast access to the electronic version of each article, throughout the world permitting low cost purchasing of individual copies of articles allowing a submission to be posted on home pages and public repositories before and after review allowing metadata information, e.g., bibliographic, abstract, and keywords, for their individual work to be openly available allowing authors the right to reuse their figures in their own subsequent publications for which they have granted ACM copyright, respecting fair use provisions of US copyright law, and allowing libraries to fill interlibrary loan requests, for teaching, research, and other not-for-profit uses. Permission to include the proceedings in appropriate SIG CD publications. Click here for instructions on generating materials for inclusion in the ACM International Conference Proceeding Series.
