*SAC '09*

Over the past 23 years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has 
become a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer 
engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around 
the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2009 is sponsored by 
the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP). For

*GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION *

Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of 
experimental computing and application development relevant to the theme 
of the track. This includes the following categories of submissions:
1) Original and unpublished research work, 

2) Reports of innovative applications to the arts, sciences, 
engineering, and business areas, 

3) Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains, 

4) Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems.



All submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers will be selected based on 
their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance and clarity of 
presentation. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium 
proceedings. A set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as 
full papers, will be accepted as poster papers and will be published as 
extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. After the 
conference, selected accepted papers will be invited to a special issue 
of a prominent journal.
          

The following submission guidelines must be strictly followed:

Use the webpage http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009/ to submit your paper. 
Submissions must follow the template available at  
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm. The 
author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the 
paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to 
facilitate blind review. Only the title should be shown at the first 
page without the author's information. The manuscript file format should 
be PDF. The total number of final pages without any extra page charge 
(80 USD per page) is 5 (the maximum number of pages is 8). An abstract 
(.txt format) including the title of the paper at the beginning (without 
having any author's information) should be also submitted. If you have 
any problem to submit your paper via web, please contact Jeff Allen 
<mailto:jallen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>  or track organizers.
