Modularity transcending traditional abstraction boundaries is essential
for developing complex modern systems, particularly software and
software-intensive systems. Aspect-oriented and other new forms of
modularity and abstraction are attracting significant attention across
many domains, both within and beyond computer science. As the premier
international conference on modularity, AOSD continues to advance our
understanding of separation of concerns, modularity, and abstraction in
the broadest senses of these terms.
The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise Research Results and Modularity
Visions. Both categories invited full, scholarly papers of the highest
quality on new ideas and results in areas that included but were not
limited to complex systems, software engineering, languages, cyber-
physical systems, and other areas across the whole system life cycle.
Research Results papers contribute significant new research results
with rigorous and substantial validation of specific technical claims
based on scientifically sound reflections on experience, analysis, or
experimentation.
Modularity Visions papers present compelling new ideas in modularity,
including strong cases for significance, novelty, validity, and
potential impact based on thorough scholarly argumentation and early
results.
A summary of the program is provided below.
Please consult <http://aosd.net/2012> for details and
up-to-date information.
We invite you to attend MODULARITY: aosd 2012!

Attendees learn about emerging technologies and have opportunities to interact with their developers. Presenters gain excellent opportunities to increase the visibility and impact of their work. AOSD.12 solicits high quality proposals for its demonstration track. Demonstrations can range across commercial, academic, and corporate research systems. Demonstrations will be selected on the basis of technical merit, novelty, relevance to the AOSD community, and feasibility of presentation. The presentation should be focused on technical content and given by the technical members of the team. There are two types of demonstrations: Forum demos and Tabletop demos. The intent is to split demos into those that can be shown without a formal presentation and those that require one. In Tabletop demos, the presenter is seated at a table, and is surrounded by a number of chairs for attendants. There is no conceptual introduction, instead the demonstration starts with showing the tool itself. This form of demonstration is especially suited for extensions to tools which are well known, as no introduction is needed, or for demos where more interaction with the audience is expected, as the setting is more intimate. Tabletop demos are allocated 30 minutes, with 20 minutes for the demonstration and 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Authors of regular research papers are also welcome to submit accompanying demonstrations. Forum demos start with a conceptual introduction of about 10 minutes before the tool itself is demonstrated. This form of demos is suited for tools which are not well-known or new, or have been significantly extended in recent times. A Forum demo is allocated 45 minutes, with 10 minutes for a presentation, 25 minutes for the demonstration and 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Every demonstration will be scheduled twice for presentation. Also, demonstration presenters will have the opportunity to give a 1-minute overview of their demonstration during a conference plenary session. There will also be space set aside where any conference attendee can give an informal demonstration. Demonstrations included in the program are also allowed and encouraged to be presented informally. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include (though are not limited to): * support for application of the aspect-oriented paradigm throughout the development life-cycle, * new technologies for aspect weaving/compilation, * reverse engineering of aspects from existing software artifacts, * reusable library aspects, * interesting applications of AOSD Submission Guidelines --------------------- The following information is required for a demonstration/exhibition submission: * Demonstration title * Type of demonstration (Forum or Tabletop) * Name, email, address, and phone number of the contact person * Names and affiliations of the other presenters * A short bio of all presenters * Description including: - Problems addressed - Relevance to AOSD - Uniqueness of design and implementation - Underlying implementation techniques and technologies used - Relation to other industrial or research efforts - A description with screenshots (or optionally a movie) of what the audience will see A 200 word abstract for advertising the demonstration/exhibition on the conference web site Hardware and presentation requirements Proposals for demonstrations/exhibitions should not exceed four pages (excluding the screenshots) in either ASCII (plain or HTML) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). How to Submit ------------- Proposals should be submitted by email to the Demonstrations Chairs (Carl Friedrich Bolz and Damien Cassou,) at demos at aosd.net. The Demonstration Chairs will confirm receipt of the submission.

The competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and AOSD attendees, and compete for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session's goal to facilitate students' interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research. Additionally, the Student Research Competition affords students with experience with both formal presentations and evaluations. Competition ----------- Students submit a proposal that follows the requirements for a poster proposal. Submissions must be original work that is neither in submission nor already published at AOSD or another conference or journal. Student Research Competition submissions will be simultaneously considered as poster submissions. Students who are not selected to participate in the Student Research Competition will be considered for the poster event. The submission should describe: - The research problem and motivation - Background and related work - Approach and uniqueness - Results and contributions Submissions should not exceed 800 words and must be in ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format. Submissions are reviewed by a panel of experts, and are evaluated based upon the following criteria: - Quality of work - Novelty of approach - Significance of contribution - Clarity of written presentation A maximum of 20 students (10 undergraduates, 10 graduates) will be selected to participate in the Student Research Competition at AOSD 2011. Students whose submissions are accepted to participate in the competition are entitled to a stipend for their travel expenses, up to a maximum of US$500. At the conference, the first round of the competition evaluates the research during a poster presentation. The poster presentation is evaluated based on two facets: - The presentation of the research, including the visual aspects of the poster and the student's oral discussion. - The research, specifically its quality, novelty, and the significance of the contribution. Based on the results from the poster session, the judges will select students to advance to the second round of the competition. During the second round of the competition, students give a 10-minute presentation of their research, followed by a five-minute question and answer period. The presentation is evaluated by a panel of judges, and the top three winners in each category are selected. The top three winners in each category will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200, respectively. After the conference, the winners from each category will advance to the ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition, where all SIG conference contest winners are evaluated. Prizes ------ The top three winners at AOSD 2012 in each category (undergraduate and graduate) will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200, respectively. All winners also receive an award certificate and two-year complimentary ACM membership with a subscription to ACM's Digital Library. Winners will be recognized during the conference. These winners will also go on to compete in the ACM Student Research Competition Grand Finals with winners from other ACM conferences. Competition Requirements ------------------------ Participants must be undergraduates or graduate students pursuing an academic degree at the time of initial submission. The contest has two categories, one for undergraduate research and the other for graduate research. Three winners will be selected in each category. Research completed while the student was an undergraduate may be submitted to the undergraduate category even if the student is now a first-year graduate student. Participants must provide a signed letter from their academic supervisor confirming that they are registered as a full-time student and that at least 50% of their working week is spent following an academic course of study. Additionally, participants must be current members of the ACM, and must provide their ACM member number. Although the ACM and AOSD recognize the importance of collaborative research, the Student Research Competition is meant to be an opportunity for junior students to develop their skills as researchers and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work. One of the goals of the program is to focus on the student, their capabilities as a researcher, and their potential. As such, only individual research projects will be considered for the Student Research Competition. Supervisors of the work may not be listed as co-authors; you must submit a single-authored version of your work for the competition. For More Information --------------------- For additional information, clarifications, or answers to questions, please contact the AOSD Student Research Competition Committee at <mailto:src@aosd.net> src@aosd.net. Moreover, there is ample information on the Student Research Competition on ACM's web-site.

Modularity Visions papers (solicited in a separate call) are expected to present compelling new ideas in modularity, including strong cases for significance, novelty, validity, and potential impact based on thorough scholarly argumentation and early results. AOSD 2012 is deeply committed to eliciting works of the highest caliber by employing a new approach to reviewing with three separate paper submission deadlines and review stages. A paper accepted in any round will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference. A paper rejected in an early round may be invited to be revised and resubmitted for review by the same reviewers in a later round. There is no guarantee that a revised paper will be accepted. Authors may, on their own initiative, resubmit a rejected work in a subsequent round, in which case new reviewers may be appointed.

Modularity influences system diversity, dependability, performance, evolution, the structure and the dynamics of the organizations that produce systems, human understanding and management of systems, and ultimately system value. Yet the nature of and possibilities for modularity, limits to modularity, the mechanisms needed to achieve it in given forms, and its costs and benefits remain poorly understood. Significant advances in modularity thus are possible and promise to yield breakthroughs in our ability to conceive, design, develop, validate, integrate, deploy, operate and evolve modern information systems and their underlying software artifacts. The Modularity Visions track of AOSD 2012 (MV) seeks papers presenting compelling insights into modularity in information systems, including its nature, forms, mechanisms, consequences, limits, costs and benefits. Rather than ex post results, MV seeks promising ex ante proposals for future work. The scope of MV is broad: open to submissions from all areas of computer science, as well as from other fields. Reviewing Process ------------------ Reviewing will be based on norms applied to peer-reviewed proposals to programs that demand breakthrough potential. Papers must be well written, present new perspectives on, or approaches to, important problems, formulate clear hypotheses justified by analysis or results from preliminary work, evaluate potential significance and risks, articulate how progress can be evaluated, and discuss related and required future work. MV will use a two-phase review process. Each paper will first be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee (PC). Any paper receiving at least one positive review will be reviewed by at least one more PC member. The PC will then recommend acceptance, rejection, or an invitation to revise and resubmit. Authors of revised papers should explain how they responded to earlier reviews. MV may include invited papers. Important Dates --------------- All deadlines are at 23:59:59 Apia, Samoa time. • Paper submission: September 23, 2011 • Notification: October 28, 2011 • Invited revisions: November 25, 2011 • Notification for revised submissions: December 16, 2011 • Camera-ready copy to publisher: January 9, 2012 Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Work submitted to the AOSD Modularity Visions track must not be under review for publication in any other venue and must not already have been published. Submission will be carried out electronically via CyberChair (http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/modvispapers/submit/). The AOSD 2012 Research Results and MV tracks use separate CyberChair URLs. Papers must be submitted as PDF files not to exceed 12 pages (including bibliography, appendices and figures) using the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format and a 10 point font. By default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format uses a 9 point font. If you are formatting your paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word, you may use the provided Word template, which uses a 10pt font. Include page numbers in submissions. Setting the preprint option in the \documentclass command generates page numbers. Ensure that your submission is legible printed when in black and white. Different colors must map to distinct gray values and all writing must be readable. Submission deadlines, length limits, and formatting instructions are firm. Submissions that deviate materially will be rejected without review by the program chair. Submitted papers must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy. Publication ----------- Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the AOSD 2012 Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers are expected to revise papers in light of reviewers' comments, agree to provide camera-ready versions by camera-ready deadlines, and agree to sign the standard ACM copyright form.

Notifications: Friday, September 30, 2011. Workshop web sites up: Friday, October 14, 2011 For ACM publishing of proceedings (pending): Notification of accepted papers: January 13, 2012 Camera ready copy of proceedings: January 27, 2012 ======================================= We invite proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction with the MODULARITY: aosd.12 conference. We encourage proposals on conference-related topics that are novel or of emerging importance. Each workshop proposal will be evaluated according to the value and relevance of its topic, the expertise and experience of the workshop organizers, and the workshop's potential for attracting participants and generating useful results. We stress the importance of active and creative workshops that foster a collaborative environment of interest to both practitioners and researchers. We encourage workshop proposals that are highly interactive, rather than mini-conferences. Submission Guidelines ===================== A workshop proposal must be authored by at least two organizers, preferably from different institutions, and should contain the following three sections: 1) About the Organizers ----------------------- - Name: Organizer's full name - Contact information: Affiliation, job title, postal address, e-mail address, URL, phone number, and fax number - Brief biography: 100-200 words, focusing on the organizer's expertise in the field and experience as a workshop organizer - Primary contact: Identify one organizer as the primary contact 2) About the Workshop --------------------- - Title: Workshop title and acronym - Abstract: 150-200 words describing the workshop, suitable for the conference Web site and advance program - Topics and motivation: What are the topics, themes, and areas of interest of the workshop? How is the workshop relevant to AOSD? How does the workshop connect AOSD to other research communities, if at all? - Goals and expected results: Explicitly state the goals of the workshop and how you intend to reach them. What are the expected results of the workshop? How will these results be disseminated? - Format: What is the planned workshop format? What will be done to stimulate collaborative interaction? What are the planned pre- and post-workshop activities? - Participants: What is the expected number of participants? Explain why this workshop will attract a sufficient number of attendees. Specify the participant selection process. - Previous workshops: Have there been previous workshops on the same topic? When, where, and how many participants? - Required equipment: Overhead projector, PC projector, whiteboard, flip charts, microphone, etc. 3) A Preliminary Call for Workshop Papers ----------------------------------------- This will necessarily repeat some of the information from the previous sections, but should be targeted towards prospective participants. The workshop call for papers should address the following items: - Overview of the motivation, topics, and goals - Workshop format - Deadlines of the workshop - Submission guidelines and review process - References to previous workshops (Web sites) ACM Publication =============== The conference organizers are negotiating with ACM to enable the inclusion of the workshop papers in both the electronic conference proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. We suggest the workshop organizers make use of this option. For ACM publication, final versions of each workshop paper will have to be prepared using ACM formatting, granting ACM copyright and will have to be limited in length to five pages. The workshop organizers are responsible for assembling their workshop proceedings and therefore ensuring correct formatting. Workshop organizers should send the workshop chairs the list of accepted papers by Friday, January 13, 2012 and the workshop proceedings by, January 27, 2012. (Hard deadlines) Note that the above requirements are for the actual workshop papers that are to be published by ACM, not the workshop proposals. Workshop proposals should mention these paper formatting requirements in the sample Call for Papers, and have compatible deadlines. Submission requirements ======================= Proposals must be submitted in ASCII text or PDF format. Relevant supporting materials, such as proceedings from previous offerings of the proposed workshop (or other workshops run by the proposal authors), should be included if available but are not required for submission. To obtain a balanced and cohesive workshop program, the Conference Committee will collaborate closely with workshop organizers and reserves the right to circulate proposals to other submitters in view of possible workshop mergers. The organizers of an accepted workshop will be required to create and maintain a Web site in a timely manner to serve as a workshop information center and to provide a repository for documenting pre- and post-workshop activities. Recommended paper submission deadline and notification deadlines will be notified here when available. How to submit ============= Workshop proposals must be sent via email to the Workshop Chairs at, and must be received no later than Friday, September 23, 2011. Notifications to submitters will be made no later than Friday, September 30, 2011. By Friday, October 14, 2011, workshop initial web sites should be set up and notified to the Workshop Chairs, and preferably calls for papers should have been sent out.

The competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and AOSD attendees, and compete for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session's goal to facilitate students' interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research. Additionally, the Student Research Competition affords students with experience with both formal presentations and evaluations. Competition ----------- Students submit a proposal that follows the requirements for a poster proposal. Submissions must be original work that is neither in submission nor already published at AOSD or another conference or journal. Student Research Competition submissions will be simultaneously considered as poster submissions. Students who are not selected to participate in the Student Research Competition will be considered for the poster event. The submission should describe: - The research problem and motivation - Background and related work - Approach and uniqueness - Results and contributions Submissions should not exceed 800 words and must be in ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format. Submissions are reviewed by a panel of experts, and are evaluated based upon the following criteria: - Quality of work - Novelty of approach - Significance of contribution - Clarity of written presentation A maximum of 20 students (10 undergraduates, 10 graduates) will be selected to participate in the Student Research Competition at AOSD 2011. Students whose submissions are accepted to participate in the competition are entitled to a stipend for their travel expenses, up to a maximum of US$500. At the conference, the first round of the competition evaluates the research during a poster presentation. The poster presentation is evaluated based on two facets: - The presentation of the research, including the visual aspects of the poster and the student's oral discussion. - The research, specifically its quality, novelty, and the significance of the contribution. Based on the results from the poster session, the judges will select students to advance to the second round of the competition. During the second round of the competition, students give a 10-minute presentation of their research, followed by a five-minute question and answer period. The presentation is evaluated by a panel of judges, and the top three winners in each category are selected. The top three winners in each category will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200, respectively. After the conference, the winners from each category will advance to the ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition, where all SIG conference contest winners are evaluated. Prizes ------ The top three winners at AOSD 2012 in each category (undergraduate and graduate) will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200, respectively. All winners also receive an award certificate and two-year complimentary ACM membership with a subscription to ACM's Digital Library. Winners will be recognized during the conference. These winners will also go on to compete in the ACM Student Research Competition Grand Finals with winners from other ACM conferences. Competition Requirements ------------------------ Participants must be undergraduates or graduate students pursuing an academic degree at the time of initial submission. The contest has two categories, one for undergraduate research and the other for graduate research. Three winners will be selected in each category. Research completed while the student was an undergraduate may be submitted to the undergraduate category even if the student is now a first-year graduate student. Participants must provide a signed letter from their academic supervisor confirming that they are registered as a full-time student and that at least 50% of their working week is spent following an academic course of study. Additionally, participants must be current members of the ACM, and must provide their ACM member number. Although the ACM and AOSD recognize the importance of collaborative research, the Student Research Competition is meant to be an opportunity for junior students to develop their skills as researchers and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work. One of the goals of the program is to focus on the student, their capabilities as a researcher, and their potential. As such, only individual research projects will be considered for the Student Research Competition. Supervisors of the work may not be listed as co-authors; you must submit a single-authored version of your work for the competition. For More Information --------------------- For additional information, clarifications, or answers to questions, please contact the AOSD Student Research Competition Committee at <mailto:src@aosd.net> src@aosd.net. Moreover, there is ample information on the Student Research Competition on ACM's web-site.

Aspect-oriented and other new forms of modularity and abstraction are attracting a great deal attention across many domains within and beyond computer science. As the premier international conference on modularity, AOSD continues to advance our knowledge and understanding of separation of concerns, modularity, and abstraction in the broadest senses of these terms. The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise two main events: "Research Results" and "Modularity Visions". Both events invite full, scholarly papers of the highest quality on new ideas and results in areas that include but are not limited to complex systems, software design and engineering, programming languages, cyber-physical systems, and other areas across the whole system life cycle. Research Results papers are expected to contribute significant new research results with rigorous and substantial validation of specific technical claims based on scientifically sound reflections on experience, analysis, or experimentation. Modularity Visions papers (solicited in a separate call) are expected to present compelling new ideas in modularity, including strong cases for significance, novelty, validity, and potential impact based on thorough scholarly argumentation and early results. AOSD 2012 is deeply committed to eliciting works of the highest caliber by employing a new approach to reviewing with three separate paper submission deadlines and review stages. A paper accepted in any round will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference. A paper rejected in an early round may be invited to be revised and resubmitted for review by the same reviewers in a later round. There is no guarantee that a revised paper will be accepted. Authors may, on their own initiative, resubmit a rejected work in a subsequent round, in which case new reviewers may be appointed. Authors submitting a revised paper should attach a letter explaining the revisions made to it. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Complex systems: Modularity has emerged as a vital theme in many domains, from biology to economics to engineered systems to software and software-intensive systems, and beyond.

From: Mónica Pinto <pinto@lcc.uma.es> To: <ecoop-info@ecoop.org> Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 21:04:15 +0200 Subject: [ecoop-info] MODULARITY: aosd.2012 - Call for Papers on Research Results - Round 2 MODULARITY: aosd.2012 *** AOSD 2012 *** March 25-30, 2012 Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany http://aosd.net/2012/ Call for Papers -- Research Results Modularity transcending traditional abstraction boundaries is essential for developing complex modern systems - particularly software and software-intensive systems. Aspect-oriented and other new forms of modularity and abstraction are attracting a great deal attention across many domains within and beyond computer science. As the premier international conference on modularity, AOSD continues to advance our knowledge and understanding of separation of concerns, modularity, and abstraction in the broadest senses of these terms. The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise two main events: "Research Results" and "Modularity Visions". Both events invite full, scholarly papers of the highest quality on new ideas and results in areas that include but are not limited to complex systems, software design and engineering, programming languages, cyber-physical systems, and other areas across the whole system life cycle. Research Results papers are expected to contribute significant new research results with rigorous and substantial validation of specific technical claims based on scientifically sound reflections on experience, analysis, or experimentation. Modularity Visions papers (solicited in a separate call) are expected to present compelling new ideas in modularity, including strong cases for significance, novelty, validity, and potential impact based on thorough scholarly argumentation and early results. AOSD 2012 is deeply committed to eliciting works of the highest caliber by employing a new approach to reviewing with three separate paper submission deadlines and review stages. A paper accepted in any round will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference. A paper rejected in an early round may be invited to be revised and resubmitted for review by the same reviewers in a later round. There is no guarantee that a revised paper will be accepted. Authors may, on their own initiative, resubmit a rejected work in a subsequent round, in which case new reviewers may be appointed. Authors submitting a revised paper should attach a letter explaining the revisions made to it. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Complex systems: Modularity has emerged as a vital theme in many domains, from biology to economics to engineered systems to software and software-intensive systems, and beyond. AOSD 2012 invites works that explore and establish connections across such disciplinary boundaries. * Software design and engineering: Requirements and domain engineering; architecture; synthesis; evolution; metrics and evaluation; economics; testing analysis and verification; semantics; composition and interference; traceability; methodology; patterns. * Programming languages: Language design; compilation and interpretation; verification and static program analysis; formal languages and calculi; execution environments and dynamic weaving; dynamic and scripting languages; domain-specific languages and other support for new forms of abstraction. * Varieties of modularity: Context orientation; feature orientation; model-driven development; generative programming; software product lines; traits; meta-programming and reflection; contracts and components; view-based development. * Tools: Aspect mining; evolution and reverse engineering; crosscutting views; refactoring. * Applications: Data-intensive computing; distributed and concurrent systems; middleware; service-oriented computing systems; cyber-physical systems; networking; cloud computing; pervasive computing; runtime verification; computer systems performance; system health monitoring and the enforcement of non-functional properties. Important Dates -- Research Results (all deadlines are in 2011, 23:59:59 Apia, Samoa, time) * Round 1 (Passed) * Round 2: Abstract Submission: July 14 / Paper Submission: July 18 / Notification: September 21 * Round 3: Abstract Submission: October 13 / Paper Submission: October 17 / Notification: December 14 Instructions for Authors Submissions to AOSD Research Results will be carried out electronically via CyberChair (Modularity Visions and Research Results will have separate CyberChair URLs). All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must be no longer than 12 pages (including bibliography, figures, and appendices) in SIGPLAN Proceedings Format (http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm), 10 point font. Note that by default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format produces papers in 9 point font. If you are formatting your paper using Latex, you will need to set the 10pt option in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word, you may wish to use the provided Word template that provides support for this font size. Please include page numbers in your submission. Setting the preprint option in the \documentclass command generates page numbers. Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible. The submission URL for the Research Results track is: http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/aosdpapers/submit/ The submission deadline, length limitations, and formatting instructions are firm: any submissions that deviate from these may be rejected without review by the program chairs. Submitted papers must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy. Each paper should contain an explanation of its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and placing it in the context of relevant prior work. Where appropriate, systems and experimental data should be made available on the Web. Authors should make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad but technically sophisticated audience. Publication Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the main AOSD 2012 conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers are expected to revise their papers in light of reviewers' comments, and to provide camera-ready versions of the papers by the camera-ready deadline. All authors will also be required to sign the standard ACM copyright form.
