SAC 2022
For the past thirty six years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary and international forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact and present their work. The ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) is the sole sponsor of SAC. 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:https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/
TRACK ON NETWORKING
A special track on Networking will be held at SAC 2022. 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 all 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 Original and unpublished papers and tutorials (half or full day) are invited in all areas of networking.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 on the design, implementation, management and applications of computer communications, networks and services. Topics of theoretical nature are also welcome, provided there is a clear practical potential in applying the results of such work. Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Big data and machine learning for networks
- Cloud computing and networking
- Communication protocols
- Content-based network services
- Cross-layer optimization and control
- Cyber-physical-social systems
- Datacenter networking
- Edge and fog computing and networking
- Green networking
- Internet of Vehicles
- Internet services and applications
- Localization and location-based services
- Middleware support for networking
- Mobile cloud computing and networking
- Mobility management
- Mobile edge computing and computation offloading
- Multimedia communications
- Network architectures
- Network operation, administration and management
- Network fault tolerance, reliability, resilience, and survivability
- Network measurements and analysis
- Network modeling and simulations
- Network performance evaluation
- Network security and privacy
- Network virtualization
- Optical networks
- Programmable Networks
- Quality of service and quality of experience
- Resource allocation and management
- Switching technologies
- Self-organizing networks
- Social computing and networks
- Traffic engineering and characterization
- Context-aware networking
- 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-references should be written in the third person tense, in order to allow 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 2022 website. Paper size is limited to eight pages (covered by the registration fee) plus two additional pages (at extra charge), resulting in the total of ten pages maximum according to the above mentioned template. For papers accepted as posters, the length is three pages (covered by the registration fee) plus one additional page (at extra charge), resulting in the total of four 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 an electronic format through the conference web site:
Online Submission Procedure for Regular Papers
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper: This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.
For any other question regarding this Track, please contact the Chairs at sac2022@di.ubi.pt

STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION (SRC) PROGRAM
The SAC 2022 SRC program provides graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researchers 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 of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2022 Tracks. Abstracts must be authored by students only. Faculty advisor(s) cannot be listed as authors on the submission or on the final poster presentation. No group projects are allowed. The work must not be submitted to any another SRC program, journal or conference while it is under consideration for SAC 2020 SRC Program. Students are invited to submit abstracts (maximum of 4 pages in ACM camera-ready format) of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in the above areas covered by the Track on Networking. Accepted abstracts are limited to 4 pages in ACM camera-ready format, no additional pages. Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed. The abstracts are reviewed by reviewers who review paper submissions to that track. The Track Chairs (TCs) manage the review process. Upon the review results, The SRC Chair and Program Committee select the best abstracts. For more details, please visit SAC 2022 website (Student Research Competition). Student research abstracts can be submitted through the SAC 2022 webpage:
