Submission Format
The submissions should be made via the Easychair link below to the respective technical track.
Instructions for authors writing in LaTeX
LaTeX submissions should be formatted using the ACM sigconf style. The authors can either download the templates from ACM website or use Overleaf.
- The LaTeX templates can be found here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. On this page, please download acmart-primary.zip (Go to LaTeX Authors and click on LaTeX version ..). Once you decompress acmart-primary.zip, you should go to samples and use sample-sigconf.tex as your primary file for editing.
- The Overleaf template can be found here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-primary-article-template/wbvnghjbzwpc Please make sure to change the main document in Overleaf to sample-sigconf.tex (go in Overleaf -> Menu -> Main Document and set it to sample-sigconf.tex)
You should leave the document class as:
\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}
Also, at this stage you do not need to modify the copyright or the conference blocks.
Instructions for authors writing in Microsoft Word
MS Word submissions should use the Word template at www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow
The submission will be a single-column submission.

Additional Instructions
Submissions not adhering to the page limit will be rejected without review. All the submissions will be single blind. The authors should include their names, affiliations and email address in the submission.
No change in either the set of authors or the ordering of authors will be permitted after a paper is submitted for review.
Please read about our Conflict of Interest policy before finalising your submission.
All accepted papers will appear in the CODS-COMAD proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library and also indexed in DBLP.
Conflicts of Interest (COI) policy
All authors submitting papers to any track must declare conflicts of interest in Easychair. You must declare a reviewer as a conflict of interest when the following associations exist:- employment at the same institution or company, regardless of geography/location, currently or in the last 12 months
- have an open or accepted offer for employment at the same institution or company
- received an honorarium, stipend, or grant from the institution or company within the last 12 months (except where of a modest nature, such as reimbursement of seminar expenses, honorarium for examination of a thesis, and so on).
- co-author on book or paper in the last 36 months
- co-principal investigator on a funded grant or research proposal in the last 36 months
- actively working on any project together
- family relationship or close personal relationship
- graduate advisee/advisor relationship, regardless of time elapsed since graduation
- deep personal animosity
We shall be using a tool called CLOSET to detect some of these conflicts automatically. In general, we expect authors, PC, the organizing committee, and other volunteers to adhere to ACM’s Conflict of Interest Policy as well as the ACM’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
Dual Submission and Plagiarism Policy
CODS-COMAD does not allow dual submissions. Submissions should be reporting original work, not previously published, accepted to be published, or being considered for publication in any other forum. Modified/extended versions of Arxiv Preprints can be submitted as long as it has not been previously published, accepted to be published, or being considered for publication in any other forum. Authors are also not allowed to concurrently submit the same work across multiple tracks within CODS-COMAD 2022. All papers will be subjected to a plagiarism check before reviewing. Submissions violating this policy will be rejected immediately without review.
Violations of Format, Dual Submission or COI
Submitted papers that do not meet the length, formatting or are simultaneously submitted to multiple venues (including papers with significant overlap), are subject to desk rejection without review. Dual submission to both research and applied data science tracks will be desk rejected without review as well. At the discretion of the PC Chairs and the Steering Committee, egregious violations (including plagiarism) may lead to additional penalties. Likewise, failure of an author to disclose all COIs may lead to similar penalties. You are encouraged to contact the PC Chairs if you have questions as to the originality conditions, dual submission, or conflict of interest policy.
