1. Fill the ACM E-Rights

We will send the forms to authors shortly after acceptance. If you have not received an e-mail from rightsreview@acm.org, check the contact author(s)'s junk or spam email folders and complete the form promptly. If the e-Rights review form can not be located, email proceedings2026@eics.acm.org

2. Check for the email from TAPS

After completing the e-Rights form, you should receive an email from tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com with a link through which you can access TAPS in about 12h. If you have not received the email after that time, please check the contact author(s)'s junk or spam email folders.

If the access link is not in the email folder, email proceedings2026@eics.acm.org with your Paper ID, title, and correct contact author's valid email address.

3. Revise the ACM Article Template Instructions

To get your paper through TAPS, it's very important to start with a correct template usage in the initial submission.

For LaTeX users:

Please revise all the instructions you find in the following page provided by ACM: Using the ACM Article Template with LaTeX

For Word users:

Please revise all the instructions you find in the following page provided by ACM: Using the ACM Article Template with MS Word

4. Prepare the submission bundle for TAPS

Having received the email from TAPS, read carefully and follow the instructions included in it and in the TAPS submission page.

Before proceeding with the submission, you will have to double-check that the title and metadata fields in the TAPS submission page match the text in your paper.

Afterwards, you must prepare a ZIP file containing the following folders:

For LaTeX users:

• a folder named "source" containing the source of your article (required):
  • one or more LaTeX files
  • figures and images to be included in the LaTeX files
• a folder named "pdf" containing a PDF of your article (this is optional)

For Word users:

• a folder named "source" containing the source of your article (required):
  • a Word document
• a folder named "pdf" containing a PDF of your article (this is optional)

To deliver the material you have two links:

• if the ZIP file is less than 10MB in size, use the file uploader on the TAPS page
• if the ZIP file is 10MB or greater in size, use the FTP link on that page

5. TAPS Validation

After the ZIP uploading, TAPS will try to generate all the material for ACM Digital Library. In case of success, it will provide you with the paper proof to approve.

In case of errors, please read carefully the instructions provided by TAPS. You can find a set of common errors at the bottom of the ACM instructions.

Submission Deadlines

Please refer to the acceptance e-mail for deadline dates.

All dates are Anywhere on Earth. We kindly encourage the authors to start the submission process as soon as possible, to tackle any issue with TAPS well before the final deadline.

Further, at least one author MUST attend the conference to present the work. Make sure to use your institutional email address when registering (the same email address used in your paper).
