GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions should be in electronic format, via the START site: https://www.softconf.com/c/sac2013/. Author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be avoided and made in the third person. Submitted papers will undergo a blind review process. Authors of accepted papers should submit an editorial revision of their papers that fits within six two-column pages (an extra two pages, to a total of eight pages, may be available at a charge). Please comply with this page limitation already at submission time. For accepted papers, registration for the conference is required and allows accepted papers to be printed in the conference proceedings. For each accepted paper, 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. A set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. After the conference, selected accepted papers will be invited to a special issue of the Computer Languages, Systems and Structures journal (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-languages-systems-and-structures/).
