Call for Papers
The call for papers is available now.Information for Authors
All submissions must be original work, not previously published elsewhere, and not currently submitted to any other conference or journal. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present the work. Presentations will be 15 minutes in duration. Note that it is insufficient for an author to register and pay for the conference to be regarded as fulfilling this obligation. As with previous years, registration for ACSW will enable delegates to attend sessions in any conference participating in the Australasian Computer Science Week. The proceedings of this event will be published by the Australian Computer Society (ACS) in the CRPIT Series.There will be an award for the best student paper. A paper categorized as a ``student paper'' should be marked with ``Student Paper'' at the top of the anonymous submission. The definition of a ``student paper'' is a paper where at least 75% of the work is done by the student (and usually, the student's name appears as the first author). Papers will be judged on originality, significance, correctness and clarity. The contribution of the paper should be clearly explained in both general and technical terms. Submission of a paper includes a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work.
Papers must be submitted electronically and be received by the submission deadline. Late submissions and non-electronic submissions will not be considered.
Formatting Guidelines
Please ensure that your paper is a suitably anonymised pdf document, and meets the requirements for double-blind reviewing, see section below. Submission of papers will be managed through EasyChair, http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acswaisc2014, a comprehensive conference paper management system. First create your own account there then login and follow the prompts to submit your anonymous paper for double blind reviewing. If there are any issues with submission, please email acswaisc2014@easychair.org.Double-blind Reviewing Requirements
It is standard practice that identities of reviewers are not made known to authors. The double-blind review process extends this principle so that reviewers do not know the identity of authors. This process requires authors to refrain from identifying themselves in their own paper. Below are some considerations to keep in mind:- In place of the usual author and address details, put "Author details suppressed"; or something equivalent. Where there are more than three authors contributing to a paper, limit the number of author spaces to three in the anonymised version.
- Refrain from references to your university or campus by name. If you feel that a description of your university is in some way salient to the paper, use generalities. For example, use "our University" instead of "Maintown University of Technology".
- Do not cite more than one of your past papers. Remember that authors will have the opportunity to revise their accepted paper before they are printed, so you will be able to add such information into the revised version. Avoid expressions like "In earlier work we …" followed by a citation of a paper authored by yourself.
- If you have an acknowledgements section, omit it for the blind submission.
- Once you have a pdf copy of your paper, see how well it is blinded. Some pdf creation software includes document properties such as the author name or institution. Some operating systems will show such document properties in the PDF version. Be especially careful to disguise or remove these properties.
Guidelines for Authors
Note that for the initial submission that a single column format is acceptable (as specified in the CFP), you will need to conform to the formatting guidelines below if accepted. Papers must be between 4 and 10 pages long (sans reference and Appendix), and 20 page limit (total overall). Papers are required to conform to the formatting guidelines of the series Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT). See the Procedures and Resources for Authors Submitting to CRPIT Published Conferences and Workshops. The accepted format for submissions is Portable Document Format (PDF). Microsoft Word and Latex template files are available at the CRPIT web site. By submitting to the conference, authors accept that they are aware of the Guidelines on Research Practice in Computer Science by the Computer Research and Education Association (CORE). In particular, authors are encouraged to review the points on authorship.Copyright Statement
