Formatting Instructions

Note that the Latex style files and Word templates have been updated since the submission, so please make that you use these one. Furthermore, please ensure that your final PDF file is US letter size (8.5 x 11 inches) and that there are no page numbers.

Mandatory Sections

The mandatory sections of the ACM styles are also mandatory for camera ready versions of accepted AAMAS 2012 papers. According to ACM: "these index terms effect the ease and accuracy of retrieval within the Digital Library which ultimately benefits authors by allowing for greater distribution of their work". Thus, although it may not be trivial to find the appropriate classification information, you should make an effort filling these sections:

  • Categories and Subject Descriptors: Details of the ACM Computing Classification Scheme are available at http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998/
  • General Terms: This section is limited to the following 16 terms: Algorithms, Management, Measurement, Documentation, Performance, Design, Economics, Reliability, Experimentation, Security, Human Factors, Standardization, Languages, Theory, Legal Aspects, Verification.
  • Keywords: This section is your choice of terms you would like to be indexed by. Please refer to the Call for Papers page for a list of keywords.
Submission Instructions

Camera ready version of accepted (full and short) papers should be uploaded in the ConfMaster system (http://aamas2012.confmaster.net/). The mechanism is exactly the same as for uploading the papers for review. Log into the ConfMaster system, select "View own papers", and click the upload icon (a floppy disk with a red up-triangle). Authors can also amend the title and/or abstract information by clicking on the magnifying glass icon, and then selecting "Edit data".
