Authors are invited to submit full papers about original and unpublished research. We would like to encourage the submission of industrial experience reports and reports of innovative computing applications.

Parallel submission to other conferences, other tracks of SAC 2009 or any other publications is forbidden. Papers submitted should not have been previously published and should not be subsequently published in the same form elsewhere. 

Submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing: papers being submitted should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page and authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimise references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institution. The body of each paper should not exceed 5,000 words. Papers failing to comply with length limitations risk immediate rejection.

At least three reviewers will be assigned to each submission to the TRECK track. Accepted papers are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the Web through the ACM Digital Library. Once accepted, papers must fit within five (5) two column pages (please check the author kit on the main SAC website: the format is usually the format used in the ACM templates), with the option (at additional expense) to add three (3) more pages. A second set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as posters and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
