ACM has introduced a new ACM Master Article Templates and Publication Workflow called TAPS. It helps you to prepare and submit a camera-ready paper. 

Information about TAPS will be sent from the following email address, so please ensure you receive it.

tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com

An email is sent to only one author for each accepted paper. Please ensure that you whitelist tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com and that the email does not end up in your spam folder.

You can find details on templates and workflow at the following URL: https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/taps-production-workflow. 

If you have any technical problems with Word and Tex, please contact ACM's support team directly at acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com. 

The camera-ready version of your paper must respect the following page limits:

Regular papers: 10 pages

Short papers: 5 pages

Posters & Demos: 2 pages

Doctoral Symposium: 2 pages 

Workshop papers: 6 pages

Additional Instructions:

* The final paper should be in PDF with embedded fonts.

* The paper should be optimized for fast web viewing.

* The PDF should not contain page numbers.

* The paper should have the ACM rights management statement and bibliographic strip at the bottom of the first page in the left column (See Step 2).

* For generating the Computing Classification Code (CCS) for your paper, please see the section of [Ancillary Authoring Template Information] at https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions 

and generate it from here: https://dl.acm.org/ccs 

After choosing the relevant discipline/subdiscipline, click "Assign this CCS concept" and then choose the level of relevance. Finally, clicking "Generate Code" will automatically generate the code block to be placed in your .tex files.

Before uploading the camera-ready version of your paper, go to Step 2.

ACM will directly contact you via email with information on how to submit a copyright form. This email will come from rightsreview@acm.org (so please ensure that this email address is not caught by your spam filter). 

An email is sent to only one author for each accepted paper.

You must submit this copyright form first before submitting your camera-ready manuscript.

After completing the rights management form, authors will be emailed the correct rights management text and bibliographic strip to place within their paper. When the author incorporates the code block generated by the ACM e-Rights system, the correct ACM Rights Statement and the bibliographic strip will automatically appear in the author's paper. Please double-check that the included ISBN number is correct. The ISBN number for ICDCN 2026 is 979-8-4007-1888-5.

We highly recommend that the authors carefully check the information in the article/author information on the e-Rights Form to ensure that the title, authors, and email address are accurate. As the completed forms are a contract between ACM and the authors, we must have the correct information within the form before ACM can publish the article. No change to the authors’ list or order will be allowed in the camera-ready version of your paper.

You must submit the camera-ready version of the paper via TAPS, containing: the PDF file of the camera-ready and all source files, including figures and bibliography. 

Please check the information from TAPS (tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com) in the same way as Step 1.

Deadlines for submission of copyright submission to the TAPS system and camera-ready preparation:

Full and Short papers: October 30, 2025

The others: November 15, 2025
