Submission

SoCIeTY 2025 invites original research work or experimental results of in-progress work that neither has been published elsewhere nor is currently under review. All papers must be limited to a maximum of 6 pages and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Submissions must be written in English. Reviews will be double-blinded. The accepted papers will be published in ACM ICPS along with ICDCN main conference proceedings and will be available through ACM Digital Library.

• All submissions must use the official LaTeX ACM article template acmart.cls, version of 1.80 or greater, using the following documentclass instruction: \documentclass[sigconf,authordraft]{acmart}.

• Papers should not exceed 6 pages double-column, including figures, tables, and references in standard ACM format. Papers may include a clearly marked Appendix with all the additional details required to validate the results (including technical proofs and experimental results that did not fit into the first 6 pages)

• The use of generative AI software tools is permitted subject to the following requirements.

  • The AI systems have not been used to plagiarize, misrepresent, or falsify content.

  • The resulting work, in its entirety, accurately represents the authors' original research and novel intellectual contributions and is not primarily the result of the AI tool's generative capabilities.

  • The authors accept full responsibility for the veracity and correctness of all material in their work, including any content generated by AI tools.

  • Note that all submissions will be checked using suitable AI content detectors.

• Indications of conflicts of interest will be required in the submission form. A conflict of interest is limited to the following:

  • A family member or close friend.

  • A Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or a postdoctoral or undergraduate mentor or mentee within the past five years.

  • A person with the same affiliation.

  • A person involved in an alleged incident of harassment. (It is not required that the incident be reported.)

  • Frequent collaborators or collaborators who have jointly published papers within the last two years.

• Double-Blind Reviewing:

The workshop will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear anywhere in the submission. In particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. Use the third person to refer to the author's previous work, e.g., replace "as we have shown before" with "as shown before in [X]." 

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:
