Instructions for Camera Ready Paper Submissions

Congratulations again on the acceptance of your work. We are now providing the details regarding the submission of the camera-ready version. The deadline for submission for camera-ready versions across all tracks is November 22, 2022, AOE (that is November 23, 2022, 5:29 PM IST)

We now discuss four main steps that you need to complete for the successful registration and camera-ready paper upload.

Step 1: Rights Review

  • You and/or your co-authors should soon receive (or would already have received) an email from ACM Rights Review ([email protected]) with a link to the electronic ACM copyright-permission form(s) to be completed.

    * NOTE: As rights management emails are sent from an automated system, there is a chance that emails sent will wind up in SPAM folders. Please make sure that you and your authors set email SPAM settings to allow emails from "[email protected]". Please fill the rights management forms immediately after getting them.

  • Upon completing the electronic form, you will receive a confirmation email. The confirmation email will contain the ACM copyright-permission block text, conference data, and DOI string/URL specific for your submission.
  • Authors MUST add the correct ACM rights management text to the first page of their paper. Incorrect rights statement found on a paper will be returned to you for correction. This will unfortunately, cause delay in posting the entire conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library, so please take care of the details.

Step 2: Paper Registration

  • Each unique paper should be registered by at least one author for it to appear in the proceedings. Articles which do not have a registration by at least one author will be removed from the proceedings.
  • The following is the link for the registration: https://cods-comad.in/registration.php.
  • On this link, you are required to fill in the name of the paper, and the EasyChair ID. Each paper has a unique EasyChair ID. The following set of images show how to obtain the unique EasyChair ID associated with your paper.
  • First, you need to Login to EasyChair, Select CODS-COMAD 2023, and select the role as author.
  • Once you click on the author, you will be taken to a page showing all your submitted papers. Please select the accepted paper you want to register for.
  • You can additionally verify the EasyChair ID by clicking on View (magnifying glass icon) for this paper. This will show an interface like the following image, where you can again confirm the EasyChair ID.
