  • be between 6 and 10 pages excluding references (between 3,000 and 5,000 words) using ACM single- column template;
  • clearly explain the research question addressed, research methods and tasks, findings or results, and contributions of the work. Papers should also provide sufficient background and related work to situate and contextualise the work of the author(s) work within a greater body of research;
  • consist of original work not previously published or concurrently under consideration for any other conference, workshop, journal, or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number;
  • be anonymized for peer review. Author/authors is/are expected to remove author and institutional identities throughout the paper including from the title and header. Your submission should avoid obvious identifying statements. Citations to your own relevant work should not be anonymous (e.g., say “Prior work by [authors]” instead of “In our prior work”).

Corresponding author's institution is in a low-income country$0 (No APC required)
Corresponding author's institution is in a lower-middle-income country and at least one author is an ACM member$125
Corresponding author's institution is in a lower-middle-income country and no author is an ACM member$175
Not in a low- or lower-middle-income country, and at least one author is an ACM member$250
All other cases (e.g., non-member, not affiliated with ACM Open institution)$350

To determine the exact APC applicable to your paper, please follow the detailed guidance on the official ACM website:
