Quick and Dirty Instructions for the New ACM Typesetting
Format—acmart Class∗
Rasit Eskicioglu
“Retired” Publication Chair
for SenSys and BuildSys and affiliated Workshops
September 2018
Preamble
Since April 2017, ACM has adopted a unified format (acmart.cls) for its publications. The newcomers to the com-
munities should have no problem using it, as it will be just the right template to use. This new format has several
important changes that might confuse particularly seasoned members of the Sensys and Buildsys communities and
of their affiliated workshops, who have been accustomed to the old (slightly modified) sig-alternate.cls style.
One such change is that all ACM conference proceedings are now using 9pt fonts for the main text. This new style
uses several packages and free fonts (Linbiolinum and LibLiberte), which are available in all major TEX distri-
butions (TEXLive, MikTEX, MacTEX) 2015 and later. If you have older distributions, your documents will not have
proper fonts.
Important Rules
1. The preferred format is LATEX. If you are not an avid LATEX user, you can use the new Word format, but make
sure to read the User Guide (1) carefully, and install the new Linbiolinum and LinLiberte fonts that comes
with the package.
2. Read the User Guide (1). Read it again, especially if you were using the old style.
3. Do not change anything in the acmart.cls file.
4. Do not change any length, such as \textlength, \textheight, or any margin in the body of your paper.
5. Look at the sample-sigconf.tex and create your own with all the relevant information and include the body
of your manuscript at the end.
6. The ACM-Reference-format block provides proper and full citation information of your manuscript (if pub-
lished) and it is required for all manuscripts (regular or short papers, as well as demo and poster abstracts).
Do not set printacmref to false to disable it to save space, because you will be asked to include it for your
Camera Ready manuscript.
7. ACM now uses CCS Categories (replacing Terms) block in all publications. This block, as well as Keywords
are required for all short or regular papers (not needed for demo or poster abstracts). Please provide proper
content for them (see the User Guide for details).
Top Matter
The details are on pages 8–9 of the User Guide (1), but please note that ACM discourages the use of “merged” authors
block, such as shown below:
∗ Please note that the examples and some content in this document reflect the recent SenSys 2018 and SenSys and BuildSys communities, the
suggestions are also applicable to the ACM editions (odd years) of the CPS-IoT Week Conferences, particularly the ISPN.

You should generate the CCSXML code with the tool at http://dl.acm.org/ccs.cfm and copy and paste it in your
“driver” file.
Please note that you may need to put the \balance towards the end of the body of your manuscript file.
Running Headers
One of the changes in the new style is the “running heads”. There are three potential ugliness with this: Long
conference name, long manuscript title, and long author list.

]. invent to uniquely identify each work; in this sample document,
the key is the first author’s surname and a word from the title. This
2.2 Math Equations identifying key is included with each item in the .bib file for yourTo avoid “long conference title” problem, use one of the following \acmConference{...} tags for SenSys’18 and
BuildSys’18, respectively:
\acmConference[SenSys'18]{The 16th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems}{November 4--7, 2018}
{Shenzhen, China}
\acmConference[BuildSys'18]{The 5th International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments}
{November 7--8, 2018}{Shenzhen, China}
Further, if you have a long title, use the optional ShortTitle in the \title. As a rule-of-thumb, if your title is longer
than a single column width, it should be shortened.
\title[SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format]{SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format---This is a Very Long Title
That will not Fit in One Line}
And if you have three or more authors (or the list is longer than a a single column width), use the following with the
first author’s names:
\renewcommand{\shortauthors}{F. LastName et al.}
Lastly, use the names and last names of the authors in the “authors block” consistently. Pick one of the ways shown
below and use it consistently everywhere, including your bibliographies:
Ben Travato
B. Travato
Lawrence P. Leipuner
L.P. Leipuner
Gordon K.M. Tobin
G.K.M. Tobin
Bibliographies and Citations
Regular staff of the institutions, such as ACM and IEEE, review manuscripts for their archival journals to provide
consistency and coherency in those publications. All other publications, such as conference proceedings and newslet-
ters, are typically compiled by different volunteers, leading to various inconsistencies. Recently, ACM requires an
additional “block”, ACM Reference format:, in every publication to make the citation process easier. However,
this is only one side of the coin, as we have to provide the other side by properly citing our references. Most common
error is to use incomplete references to save space in the body of a paper. Keep in mind that ACM uses the natbib
package and the ACM-Reference-Format.bst for processing references. Check the User Guide (1) (Section 2.10
Bibliography) and make sure that you provide all the required fields for the each bib entry.
Acknowledgements
If you have to acknowledge someone or something in your manuscript, please insert your message between \begin{acks}
and \end{acks}. This is no longer a \section in the manuscript.
Balanced Columns
Although not enforced by ACM, SenSys and BuildSys communities have been balancing the columns on the last
page of each paper by using the balance package. Admittedly, this might be tricky at times, but the output is much
nicer as can be seen below:
