Upon trying to submit a final manuscript to ACM I found out that I needed to add a General Terms section and a Categories and Subject Descriptor Section. Seemed rather confusing to use the first time, and their guide is rather long. Here is a quicker guide:
For General Terms:
- Goto http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998/
- Pick a few words that is related to the paper
- Add a Section General Terms under Abstract, and put the words in
- Separated by comma
For Categories and Subject Descriptor:
- Goto http://www.acm.org/about/class/ccs98-html
- Find words related, select from the bottom most level (e.g. I.5.4 -> Signal Processing)
- In the paperm Categories and Subject Descriptor under Abstract, insert: Descriptor# [2nd Level Title] Third Level Title — Keyword
- Separate by ;
For example, I have I.5.4, Signal Processing and D.2.11, Domain-specific architecture. I would have:
Categories and Subject Descriptors
I.5.4 [Pattern Recognition]: Applications – Signal Processing; D.2.11 [Software Engineering]: Software Architecture – Domain-specific architectures
Notice that I.5 is Pattern Recognition, I.5.4 is Applications, and my paper’s area is Signal Processing
