PODC Camera-Ready
Use this after acceptance, toward the camera-ready deadline (PODC 2026: 20 May 2026). Two shifts define the work: the paper moves from anonymous to attributed, and from the unbounded submission to the ≤10-page two-column ACM proceedings version — while the proofs migrate to the arXiv full version. Do both without breaking the proof map a reader follows.
De-anonymize systematically
Reverse every lightweight-double-blind measure from podc-submission:
[Authors] add real author names, affiliations, and emails to the ACM template header
[Self-citations] restore first-person where natural ("we extend [12]" is fine now)
[Acknowledgements] add funding, grants, and thanks removed for review
[Links] point to the (now public) arXiv full version, code, or author pages
[Metadata] set the PDF author/title metadata to the real values
Do not accidentally leave a submission-era "[anonymized]" placeholder in the text or bibliography.
Compress to the proceedings format without losing the proofs
The published regular paper is ≤10 pages in two-column acmart proceedings format — far shorter
than the full-version submission. The compression strategy is placement, not deletion:
- Keep in the proceedings: the model box, all theorem statements, the delta over prior bounds, and the proof ideas / key lemmas — the reader must still see why each result holds.
- Move to the arXiv full version: complete proofs, routine cases, auxiliary constructions, extended related work, optional simulation detail.
- Add an explicit pointer: "Full proofs appear in the full version [arXiv:...]." A proceedings paper
that just says "proof omitted" with no reachable full version fails the reproducibility contract
(
podc-reproducibility). - Verify every cross-reference ("by Lemma 4.2") resolves in whichever document it points to.
Post and synchronize the arXiv full version
- Post the full version with all proofs to arXiv (the de-anonymized version now that review is over).
- The arXiv full version and the proceedings paper must state identical theorems and constants; only proof detail differs. A theorem tightened in one and not the other is a correctness-record bug.
- If a reviewer's comment led you to fix a proof, ensure the fix is in both the camera-ready and the arXiv version.
- The community reads arXiv for the proofs the 10 pages cannot hold, so treat it as the archival scientific record, not an afterthought.
Complete ACM production metadata
- ACM rights / eRights: complete the copyright/licensing form ACM sends after acceptance; paste the returned rights block (copyright line, conference string, DOI) into the template exactly.
- CCS concepts and keywords: add the ACM Computing Classification System concepts and author keywords the template requires.
- Title/author consistency: the names and title in the PDF, the rights form, and HotCRP must match.
- Reference hygiene: for canonical results, cite the correct venue — a JACM article vs. a PODC edition vs. a DISC paper (see the exemplars library's omissions list); camera-ready is when reviewers stop catching these for you.
Pre-upload checklist
[ ] Real authors/affiliations/emails in; no leftover "[anonymized]" strings
[ ] <=10 two-column proceedings pages; model box + theorems + deltas + proof ideas all retained
[ ] Full proofs in the arXiv full version, reachable by an explicit pointer and exact cross-refs
[ ] arXiv full version and proceedings paper state identical theorems/constants
[ ] ACM rights block, DOI, conference string, CCS concepts, keywords all in place
[ ] Any post-review proof fix propagated to both documents
[ ] Registration for the conference arranged (one author must present in person)
Common failures
- Proofs deleted, not relocated — the proceedings paper loses the proof map and no full version holds the deleted proofs.
- Body and arXiv disagree on a theorem after a post-review fix.
- Leftover anonymization — placeholder strings or third-person self-citations left in.
- Missing rights block / CCS concepts — an ACM production reject at the last moment.
- Wrong-venue citations — a canonical result attributed to PODC when it is a journal or DISC result.
Output format
[De-anonymization] authors/acks/self-cites/links/metadata all restored; no placeholders left?
[Compression] <=10 proceedings pages; proof ideas retained; full proofs relocated not deleted?
[arXiv sync] full version posted; identical theorems/constants; explicit pointer + exact cross-refs?
[ACM metadata] rights block / DOI / conference string / CCS / keywords complete?
[Presentation] in-person registration arranged?
[Fix queue] <remaining production and sync items before the camera-ready deadline>
