- For LaTeX authors, submissions should be made using the double-column format using \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart}.
- Authors should prepare their materials using numbered citations and references. See the TAPS webpage for guidance on how content length corresponds to the page limits for the final version.
