Publishing Non-SIG Conference Proceedings
(This policy was adopted at the Publications Board meeting on
May 06, 2000)
* For a conference to be considered, it must have the approval of a
SIG or the Publications Board. Such approval can be long-standing, but
both the conference and the SIG (/Pubs Board) can withdraw any time from
the arrangement for future proceedings.
* ACM will produce a sufficient number of proceedings for distribution at their
conference, at a reasonable price to the conference. ACM will also produce
a number of copies for sale to libraries and individuals after the
conference, possibly with preferential rates to ACM and members of the
in-cooperation SIG.
* The conference will be responsible for providing camera-ready hardcopy and
a suitable electronic version, both in the proper format, which will be
specified in a web page.
* ACM copyright policy will apply to the proceedings. The proceedings will
appear in the ACM Digital Library. The proceedings will have the same
access policy alternatives as a SIG proceedings, with the in-cooperation
SIG (/Pubs Board) and the conference steering committee jointly deciding
the specific access decisions.
* ACM will establish a formal ACM Computer Science Proceedings Series, for
libraries to subscribe to, analogous to the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.
