SUBMISSION TYPES

Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development, as covered by the technical programs of the various tracks selected for SAC 2021.

Submissions should fall into the following categories:

• Original and unpublished research work

• Reports of innovative computing applications in sciences, engineering, and business areas

• Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains

• Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems

Peer groups with expertise in the tracks focus areas will blindly review submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings and ACM digital library.

If you have any questions regarding the types or topic relevance to the track, please contact the track chair.

FORMATTING & SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submission guidelines can be found on the SAC 2021 website. Prospective papers should be submitted to the track using the START submission system. Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed. For more information please visit the SAC 2021 website.

Since the track papers will be published by ACM proceedings, authors must submit manuscripts using the ACM format.
