The final camera-ready SIGMOD submissions should be prepared as per the templates given below. Your paper should not have page numbers, since they will be inserted by the editor. All papers should include the following copyright block at the lower left of the first page of your submission:
"Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page. To copy otherwise, or republish, to post on servers or to redistribute to lists, requires prior specific permission and/or a fee.
SIGMOD 2006 June 27-29, 2006, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Copyright 2006 ACM 1-59593-256-9/06/0006 ...$5.00"
Please note that for government papers, a different copyright block
is needed. For the necessary changes, please see:
http://www.acm.org/sig_volunteer_info/conference_manual/6-5PROC.HTM.
We will accept only PDF files, formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper, and no more than 5MB in file size. Because papers are primarily distributed and viewed online these days, authors are encouraged to include color in their final papers whenever it can be used to improve the presentation: in graphs, figures, and so forth. However, printed proceedings are still common as well and it is the absolute responsibility of authors to ensure that their papers are legible in black and white colors as the hard copy proceedings will still be in black and white. It is essential that the final submissions of the papers print without difficulty on a variety of printers using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Therefore, authors must be sure that any special fonts are included, etc.
We have prepared template files which include the copyright block
automatically. Please note that unlike standard ACM templates, you are not required to include headings for "Categories
and Subject Descriptors", "General Terms", and "Keywords".
These are not used by SIGMOD and can be omitted from your submitted paper.
LaTeX
LaTEX FILES: PDFs generated from LaTEX files generally do not display well on screen because the fonts that are generated from LaTEX for the PDFs are bitmap images.
Whenever possible, please substitute Type 1 Postscript fonts for Type 3 fonts in files, then generate PS or PDF. The following document contains detailed information on substituting Adobe Type 1 fonts into some LaTEX papers to correct this problem, as well as various other problems regarding preparation of your PDF documents: http://acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/sigfaq.htm. In addition, the American Mathematical Society (AMS) has made a Type 1 version of the Computer Modern outline font freely available for download at its Web site. Go to: http://www.ams.org/tex/type1-fonts.html.
