Author Instructions

Generic Instruction for Camera Ready

As part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS), NSysS’25 proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. To facilitate a smooth final submission, please carefully follow the guidelines below.

1. Preparing Your Camera-Ready Paper
All authors must use the ACM Primary Article Templates, compatible with ACM’s Publishing System (TAPS), to prepare the final camera-ready version of their paper. You can find the templates and detailed instructions here:
https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/taps-best-practices
https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/taps-production-workflow
Please ensure that all author names and affiliations are included correctly in the camera-ready version. We recommend reviewing the ACM Production Information Guidelines and preparing your camera-ready version in advance to avoid any delays.

2. ACM e-Rights Management System
Shortly, you will receive an email from ACM’s e-Rights system with instructions to complete the rights transfer for your paper. Completing this step is essential, as rights transfer is required before final submission. We recommend whitelisting rightsreview@acm.org and tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com to ensure you receive these important notifications.

3. Submission to TAPS
After completing the rights transfer, you will receive instructions to upload your source files of the camera-ready version directly to ACM’s TAPS system, where both PDF and HTML formats will be generated for the Digital Library. Please proofread your document carefully to confirm it is final and requires no further revisions.

They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal. The papers should be 6 to 8 pages (double column), including all figures, tables, appendices, and references in ACM format. Papers must be submitted in PDF format and formatted according to the new Standard ACM Conference Proceedings Template.

Information about formatting and style files is available online at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

The Overleaf template is available online at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-primary-article-template/wbvnghjbzwpc.

LaTex users have to use sample-sigconf.tex file as the template. If you prefer to use the Overleaf template, change the main document to sample-sigconf.tex file.

Only electronic submissions will be allowed. All papers submitted to the 12th NSysS 2025 need to be double-blind, i.e., no author name should appear in the submitted papers. There must not be any references that may reveal the author’s identity.

Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model

ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.

Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
Full details of the new ICPS publishing model: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq
Full details of the ACM Open program: https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess

Please direct all questions about the new model to icps-info@acm.org.
