# Submissions

Submissions should be five or fewer pages in length excluding references,
formatted in standard ACM two-column conference style with 10-pt font
size. Authors should consult the ACM website
(https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) for the up to date
template. Reviewing will be double-blind: no author or affiliation information
should appear in the submission. The authors should additionally follow the
best practice in order not to disclose their identities implicitly. A
submission may present preliminary results, propose a new research direction,
provide insightful retrospective, or offer a provocative viewpoint on an
important systems topic. Papers will be selected based on their likelihood of
generating insightful technical discussions at the workshop and influencing
future systems research. Relevant attributes include originality, technical
merit, clarity, and technical relevance. Accepted papers will appear in the
proceedings of the workshop, which will be published in the ACM Digital
Library. Consistent with standard scholarly practice, the authors should not
have substantially similar work in review anywhere else.

Submissions can be made online at https://apsys24.hotcrp.com.
