Templates for ACM CCS 2017 Submissions

Since the new ACM templates do not quite work, this repository is a cleaned up version of the template for use in ACM CCS 2017.

For sumbissions to CCS 2017, you will need acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst and should use the template in ccs-template.tex.

The page limit for CCS submissions is at most 12 pages body content using this format, with any number of additional pages for the bibliography, well-marked appendices, and any desired supplementary material. When relevant, submitters may include reviews from past submissions and responses to them in the supplementary material. Reviewers are not required to consider the appendices or supplementary material, however, so submissions need to be intelligible and convincing without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines, or playing games to work around page limits, will be rejected by the PC chairs without review. In particular, papers should not use squeezing tricks to adjust the (already very dense) ACM paper format, and moving discussion of key related work or important definitions to appendices may be grounds for rejection.

This is forked from the 2017 ACM Proceedings Template but modified to be easier to use and not require authors to build the .cls file (which is not included in the ACM distribution) themselves. A few tweaks were made to produce a better output for paper submissions.

To keep things small and simple, unnecessary parts of the ACM repository have been removed from this repository. If you want examples of more complex formatting, see the example files there. If you are using something other than LaTeX, you will need to follow the directions there for other platforms.
