SIGecom Exchanges: Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines

The SIGecom Exchanges accept submissions that conform to the following template and instructions:

Articles should be submitted in pdf format to the editor-in-chief. The page limit depends on the type of contribution.

The SIGecom staff is small and we have no administrative support. Nevertheless, we are generally able to publish the issue within five weeks of the submission deadline. Successful publication on such an aggressive schedule depends upon the close cooperation of both the editorial staff and the submitting authors.

By submitting an article to the SIGecom Exchanges, and on condition of acceptance by the editor, authors grant to ACM the following non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide rights:

to publish the article in print;
to digitize and post the article in the electronic version of the publication;
to include the article in the ACM Digital Library and in any Digital Library related services;
to allow users to make a personal copy of the article for noncommercial, educational or research purposes.

However, contributing authors retain copyright to the article, and ACM will refer requests for republication directly to them.
