Formatting Requirements
-
Use LaTeX (with acmart):
\documentclass[sigconf,review,screen,anonymous]{acmart} \acmConference[ISER 2021]{The 2021 Introduction to Software Engineering Research at Nanjing University}{Fall 2021}{Nanjing, China} \setcopyright{none}
Reference format:
\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
.Important note : you should put your name and affiliation (English) in the\author{}
block, such that your research proposal still looks good whenanonymous
is removed. The instructors will keep a printed proceeding. -
Research proposal will be reviewed double-blind. So you must follow the double-blind FAQ.
- Not exceed 4 pages for the main text, inclusive of all figures, tables, appendices, etc. One additional page of references is allowed.
Violating the formatting rules will lead to desk rejection.

main.tex
(any directory will be okay). - Your source code will be compiled by Online Judge:
- Docker container running Ubuntu 20.04

- Build command:
latexmk -pdf main.tex
Typeset a Beautiful Paper
Try your test to create a beautiful paper. Please refer to the texdoc of acmart
(texdoc acmart
in command line). Here is a link to common LaTeX issues. You may also find beautiful papers in POPL/PLDI/OOPSLA/ECOOP.
We recommend your research proposal to include an overview figure to clearly describe your approach's workflow and challenges. Examples:

You may use Visio, Keynote, or PowerPoint. A more professional tool may be TikZ:

You may also show some (hypothetical) evaluation results with random/synthetic data.

Modern plotting tools can export LaTeX-friendly plots. An alternative is to use pgfplots. Use booktab when typesetting tables. A bit color/font changes will make your paper more accessible.

Finally, you may embed figures into your text or tables:
