Submission Guidelines
Regular Papers
-
Papers and abstracts have to be submitted via easychair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=issac2020).
The website for the abstract submission and the paper submission is the same,
i.e. you will not find a distinct area for the abstract submission.
-
You can submit your abstract first, and then override your submission with the full paper.
You do not need to first submit an abstract prior to the paper if your paper is ready by the abstract submission deadline.
The abstract submission possibility serves the purpose to provide authors with more time
to complete their papers while the program committee can begin to find suitable reviewers
based on the overview they obtain from the abstracts.
-
Papers must be in English and should not exceed 8 pages in the ACM conference proceedings style.
Papers should be prepared using the acmart class using the sigconf option.
The acmart class is contained in most LaTeX distributions. If you don't have it, you can obtain it from
here.
This site also contains installation instructions.
Alternatively, you can use a preinstalled setup on
overleaf.
-
Submissions in other article styles are also accepted, but the final version must be at most 8 pages
when compiled in the acmart document class (equivalent to about 17 pages of letter size paper, typeset in 12pt with normal spacing and reasonably large margins).
Extended abstracts are not allowed. Papers may have an appendix that may be read by the reviewers and PC members at their discretion, but will not be included in the published version of the paper.
Poster Presentations
-
Poster presentations at ISSAC are for getting our community excited
about new or ongoing work that has not yet been published.
Presentations on work that has recently been accepted elsewhere are
also welcome. In this year's edition, ``posters'' are essentially
short communications. Authors are invited to submit an extended
abstract in PDF format, consisting of no more than 4 pages, which will
be reviewed by the poster committee.
-
Note: The 4 pages do NOT include references but should use font no
smaller than 11-point and margins no smaller than 1 inch all around.
Submissions deviating significantly from this guideline risk being
rejected immediately without appraisal.
-
Accepted poster presentations will then consist of a short
presentation (about 10 minutes, using at most 5 slides in PDF format,
not including title page and references) to be recorded on zoom and
posted online at the ISSAC website before the start of the
conference. Presenters will then have the opportunity to see questions
about their short presentations before the conference, and then their
allotted time at ISSAC will consists of a short question/answer
session with the audience.
-
Live sessions will be allocated for questions, answers, and discussion
on individual poster presentations during the daily online
meetings. (The live sessions will NOT be for presentation of poster
slides: poster presentations will have already been recorded and
viewed before the live session.) Scheduling details will be determined
in due course.
-
Please send submissions by (11pm anywhere on earth) June 10, 2020
using
Easychair
-
The accepted poster abstracts will be published in an upcoming issue
of the ACM SIGSAM Communications in Computer Algebra.
Software presentations
-
The software presentations at ISSAC are for demonstrating and
communicating new developments in software for symbolic and algebraic
computation. Presentations are welcome for software based on
previously published algorithms and mathematics. Authors are invited
to submit an extended abstract in PDF format of no more than 4 pages
which will be reviewed by the software committee. Accepted software
presentations will then consist of slides in PDF format posted online
at the ISSAC website before the start of the conference, with an
opportunity to see questions about their slides before their allotted
presentation time.
-
Please submit your presentation by
(11pm anywhere on earth) June 10, 2020, on

-
Live sessions will be allocated for questions, answers, and discussion

in due course.
