Author's guide


We invite authors to submit original research and experience papers relevant to the workshop topics. Please read the following guidelines carefully before preparing your submission.

Paper Format

All submissions must use the official ACM Primary Article Template (LaTeX). Papers should be formatted in double-column layout.

Review Process

The workshop will use a single-blind review process. Authors should include their names, affiliations, and contact information in the submitted manuscript.

Page Limit

The maximum paper length is 6 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Authors seeking to exceed this limit should contact the workshop organizers prior to submission for approval.

Publication and Open Access

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as companion of the Computing Frontiers ‘26 proceedings.

All papers will be made available under the Gold Open Access model. Please note that an open access fee may apply if the authors’ institution does not have an existing ACM Open agreement. Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:

  • $250 APC for ACM/SIG members
  • $350 for non-members

This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.


For any questions or special requests regarding submissions, please contact the workshop organizers.
