Late Breaking Results Guidelines

I need an invitation letter for my visa. How do I request this?
International authors and attendees who need a visa letter should first complete the form and then download a copy of the letter directly from the form.

Do Speakers need to register for DAC? If so, which registration rates are acceptable?
Yes, each accepted manuscript must have one author register for DAC at the Research Speaker Rate; please reference your acceptance email for information on how to receive the Speaker Rate. This is a full conference registration. Research Speakers may not use the Full Conference Student; Engineering Track or I LOVE DAC registration rates.

ACM is the 2026 copyright holder for 63DAC so your final paper will be published on the ACM Digital Library for archival value after the conference.

The manuscript must be within 6 pages, excluding references, double-columned, 9 or 10-pt font, in PDF format only, be a readable file and follow the ACM Templates. The length and content of the submitted version and that of the final version (if accepted) should not be significantly different. All references must be listed in the additional reference page. Only one page of references is allowed. Inclusion of any content other than the references on the reference page will result in the desk rejection of the submission. The manuscript and the reference page must be formatted as a single PDF file.

You may not, in any way, revise the content of your manuscript other than to address minor formatting issues, or to add acknowledgements or references that would have invalidated a double-blind review.

Following ACMs policies on authorship, anyone listed as Author on a paper must meet all the following criteria:

• made a significant intellectual contribution to the theoretical development, system or experimental design, prototype development, and/or the analysis and interpretation of data associated with the work contained in the paper;

• contributed to drafting the paper or reviewing and/or revising it for intellectual content;

• approved the final version of the paper as accepted for publication, including references.

Contributors who do not meet all of the above criteria may be included in the Acknowledgment section of the paper. Submissions which fail to follow the above guidelines will be automatically rejected. Serious violations will be reported to IEEE and ACM for disciplinary action.

Authors of accepted papers must complete the ACM Copyright Form, which will be emailed to the contact author in March. One copyright form is required for each accepted paper.

• Authors and co-authors are subject to all ACM Publication Policies

• Any issues/questions authors have regarding the copyright form or ACM Policy may be addressed to ACM.

We follow ACM/IEEE policy on AI/LLMs/ChatGPT. In brief, the use of AI software tools (such as ChatGPT, Jasper, AI Write, Lex, for example) is permitted, subject to the following requirements.

• The use of content generated by LLMs (including, but not limited to, text, figures, images, and code) must be disclosed in a separate section of the paper with the heading “Content Generated by AI”. The LLMs used shall be identified, and specific sections of the paper that use LLM-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content. However, the use of LLMs for editing, grammar enhancement, translation, and knowledge retrieval is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is not required but recommended. Regardless of the ways that LLMs were used in a given paper submission, authors should understand that they accept full responsibility for all the content in the paper, including content generated by LLMs that could be construed as plagiarism or scientific misconduct (e.g., fabrication of facts). LLMs are not eligible for authorship.
