ACM APC Policy

If you register for a full paper, please note that Open Access is essential for ACM publishing. The registration fee does not include the Article Processing Charge (APC). You must pay the APC separately to ACM.

For conferences publishing under the new model, all ICPS papers will be published Open Access (OA). Many authors qualify for free OA publishing, while others are required to pay an APC.

To determine whether or not an APC is applicable to your paper, please follow these steps:

1. Check if your institution is a member of the ACM Open program.
2. Check if your country is covered by agreements with EIFL or Research4Life and/or classified as a low-income country by the World Bank.
3. Check if your country is classified as a lower-middle-income country by the World Bank.
4. Are you or any of your coauthors an ACM member? If you would like to apply for ACM membership, you may do so here.

For detailed guidance, please visit: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance

The APC will be charged separately by ACM, and an official receipt will be provided. For questions, please contact: icps-info@acm.org

No Show Policy

For each accepted paper, at least one author or qualified proxy needs to register for attending the conference, and present the paper in the assigned session, either in an oral or as a poster. Publisher reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference. No refund of the paid fees may be claimed by the no show author.

For poster sessions, if the speaker is not present in front of the poster for most of the time during the poster session, this also implies the paper was not presented.

The presenter should start all necessary procedures and approvals (e.g., travel funding, visa application) after receiving notification that the paper is accepted for the conference.

If the authors have, or anticipate, unforeseen circumstances endangering or preventing the presentation, they should notify the conference secretary as soon as possible with proof of their restriction. Substitute presenters may be possible or, depending on conference resources, other accommodations may be available, such as a remote presentation or pre-recorded video.

Refund/Cancellation Policy

If a registrant is unable to attend an event for any reason, they may substitute, by arrangement with the registrar, someone else of co-authors or from the same institute/organization. Written requests for cancellations must be sent to the Conference Secretary by email  icemt@academic.net.
