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

Section and Sub-section heads should remain with at least 2 lines of body text when near the end of a page or column. Also, be sure that your paper is formatted for American Letter (8-1/2x11).
  • Authors with color figures: authors please be aware your figures are printing in black and white (grayscale) in the body pages of the proceedings. We suggest you print your paper to a black/white printer (or black-white version) to be sure that the tones, screening, images reproduce well in black and white. Your images may appear in color on your electronic submissions and will appear in color in the ACM digital library. We recommend images to be at least 300 or 600 dpi for quality reproduction.
  • For Word Users: Please download the template from the ACM website: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html, and insert the ACM copyright statement (VRST-info.doc, right click and download to cut and paste into your paper). This statement should appear in 8 pt. Times New Roman, justified text, with VRST'04 italicized.
  • For LaTEX Users: Please download the template from the ACM website: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html, and insert the following three lines in your .tex document after \begin{document} to produce the correct copyright statement and info:
