Paper Formatting Instructions

Paper submissions must not exceed a length of six single spaced pages and must follow the formatting requirements specified by CCSC, which may be found in the CCSC Manuscript Formatting Guidelines. Your submission must be in Microsoft Word format or a PDF file (note that LaTeX is not accepted). For accepted proposals, a camera-ready copy must be submitted as both a Word document and a PDF file. When using Word, do not change its default formatting settings.

You will have limited time between paper acceptance notification and final copy submission. Therefore, we recommend that you format your initial submissions according to this format to save yourself time later.

To make the blind reviewing possible, your papers must not have identifying information in them. In addition to omitting the author names and affiliations at the top of the paper, please also remove any URLs or other terms in the text that would identify author or institution, and omit all self-citations from the list of references (omit all details, not just author names).
