- If you would like to use FrameMaker, please make the .fm file match the specifications outlined in the WORD template. FrameMaker users please send the .fm and a .ps file.

2. Do not alter the templates other than for line or page breaks. Authors using LaTex (use option#2-sig-alternate), be sure to put all text into ONE .tex document, including the references from your .bbl file.

3. Submissions that do not conform to the ACM standards and formats will be returned to the author for corrections and/or alterations.
