ACI 2024 Call for Research Papers
​We invite research paper contributions. Authors are encouraged to submit a paper of length proportional to its contribution. The maximum word count is 10,000 words (plus references). If your research contribution requires fewer pages, please submit a paper of that length. Reviewers will be instructed to weigh the submission’s contribution relative to its size. Papers should be concise but thorough in presenting the work. Typical papers will be 7,000 to 9,500 words long (plus references), but papers can be shorter (e.g., 3,500 to 4,250 words) if the contribution is smaller. Shorter, more focused papers are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other paper. Papers whose lengths are incommensurate with their contributions will be rejected. Papers may be perceived as too long if they are repetitive or lengthy or too short if they omit important details or neglect relevant prior art.
It is expected that all paper submissions to this (and any other) track incorporate principles of ethical treatment of animals and have appropriate/requisite institutional review.
​
Submissions must be anonymous, meaning authors and their institutions must be removed from the submitted file. Reference to the authors’ previous work may be made in the third person.
​
Papers must be submitted using the new ACM Template.
​
Authors may also submit a supplementary MP4 video of up to 3 minutes and 50MB and volunteer to demo their paper if it is a system contribution, but this is not necessary.
​
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review and will be selected based on the quality of their contribution. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two reviewers from program committee members and external domain experts.
​
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACI2024 Conference Proceedings, provided that at least one of the authors registers for and attends the conference to present the paper.
​

Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model ​
The conference proceedings of ACI2024 will be published in the ACM Digital Library within the International Conference Proceedings Series. ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance. Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
Full details of the new ICPS publishing model: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq
Full details of the ACM Open program: https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess
Please direct all questions about the new model to icps-info@acm.org.
