SAC 2013

For the past twenty-seven years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has
been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer
engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the
world. SAC 2013 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied
Computing (SIGAPP), and will be held at the Institute of Engineering of the
Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal. Authors are invited to
contribute original papers in all areas of experimental computing and
application development for the technical sessions. For additional
information, please check the SAC web page:

TRACK ON NETWORKING

A special track on Networking will be held at SAC 2013. This track aims to
be a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners, in academia and
industry to share new ideas, experiences and results, and to present their
latest findings in any aspects of computer communications, networks and
services. Original and unpublished papers and tutorials (half or full day)
are invited in all areas of networking. The Track will emphasize the design,
implementation, management and applications of computer communications,
networks and services. Topics of mostly theoretical nature are also welcome,
provided there is clear practical potential in applying the results of such
work. Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

       Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
       Addressing and Location Management
       Congestion and Flow Control
       Content Distribution
       Data Centers and Cloud Computing
       Green Communications
       Grid Networking
       High-speed Networks
       Internet Services and Applications
       Middleware Support for Networking
       Mobile and Wireless Networks
       Multicast, Broadcast and Anycast
       Multimedia Communications
       Network Architectures
       Network Control and Management
       Network Modeling and Simulation

       Optical Networks
       Peer-to-Peer Networks
       Quality of Service and Quality of Experience
       Resource Allocation and Management
       Routing and Switching
       Scheduling and Buffer Management
       Self-organizing Networks

       Ubiquitous Networks
       Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
       Virtual and Overlay Networks


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Original and unpublished papers are solicited from the above-mentioned
areas. The file format should be PDF. The author(s) name(s) and address(es)
must not appear in the paper, and self-reference should be in the third
person. This is to facilitate double blind review. Only the title should be
shown at the first page without the author's information. Papers must be
formatted according to the template which is available at the SAC 2013
website. Paper size is limited to six pages (covered by registration fee)
plus two additional pages (at extra charge), being the total of eight pages
maximum according to the above mentioned template. For papers accepted as
posters, the length is two pages covered by registration fee plus one
additional page (at extra charge), being the total of three pages maximum. A
few key words should be provided. A paper cannot be sent to more than one
track. Original manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format through
the conference web site:

https://www.softconf.com/d/sac2013/

Paper registration for the conference is required for each accepted paper
and allows the paper to be printed in the conference proceedings. An author
or a proxy attending SAC must present the paper. This is a requirement for
the paper to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of
scheduled papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM/IEEE
digital library.

For any other question regarding this Track, please contact the Chairs at

STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION (SRC) PROGRAM

The Student Research Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide
graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researcher
and practitioners in their areas of interest. Active graduate students
seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are
invited to submit abstracts (minimum of 2-page and maximum of 4-page) of
their original unpublished and in-progress research work in the above areas
covered by the Track on Networking. Abstracts must be authored by students
only. Faculty advisor(s) cannot be listed as authors on the submission or on
the final poster presentation. The student author must be currently enrolled
in a University or College and have active ACM (or SIGAPP) student
membership. For 2013, only individual graduate students research is
accepted for consideration. No group projects. The work must not be
submitted to any another SRC program, journal or conference while it is
under consideration for SAC 2013 SRC Program. Student research abstracts can
be submitted through the following link for the SRC START system:

https://www.softconf.com/d/sac-src2013

Accepted research abstracts presented by their sole student authors will be
published in SAC CD Proceedings with clear indication of Student Research
Abstract - Work in Progress" or something similar. Student registration is
required. Authors of accepted abstracts are eligible to apply for the SIGAPP
Student Travel Award Program (STAP). Authors of presented abstracts will be
invited to the SAC banquet event. The student authors are required to attend
the conference and present their work in poster and discussion format. No
author substitution is allowed. A committee will judge the presentations and
select the top three winners for cash prizes. The winners will be recognized
during the SAC banquet. Only student authors present at the banquet get the
prizes, if not present, no prize. The prizes for the top three winners are
$500, $300, and $200, respectively.

Important Dates for SRC Program:
October 31, 2012: Research abstracts
November 30, 2012: Author notification
March 19, 2013: Presentations
