INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

FORMATTING YOUR PAPER OR POSTER ABSTRACT

Papers may be up to 12 pages in length, excluding the bibliography and any supplemental appendices. Authors must make sure to properly anonymize their submissions (new this year). Authors are also encouraged to attach to their paper supplemental appendices containing study materials (e.g. surveys) that would not otherwise fit within the body of the paper. Papers must be no more than 20 pages including bibliography and appendices. Papers must use the SOUPS proceedings template [MS Word] [LaTeX]. (Appendixes need not be formatted with this template.)

Poster abstracts should be at most 2 8.5x11 pages, using the SOUPS poster template. Please prepend the word "Poster:" to your poster title (for example, "Poster: On the Usability of Secret Decoder Rings"). All final submissions must be in PDF format. You are welcome to add additional permission statements or a Creative Commons license.

The final camera ready version of your paper is due May 30, 2014. To upload your final manuscript, please visit the SOUPS submission website. .

USENIX CONSENT FORM

All authors must sign the USENIX consent form. If you have multiple co-authors you may all sign the same form or sign separate forms. Please send your completed consent form(s) by email, fax, or postal mail to USENIX at the address listed on the form.

POSTERS

We will include poster abstracts on the web site. However, poster authors also need to prepare an actual poster for the SOUPS poster session. We will provide easels that can accommodate a poster up to A0 size -- 36in (91.4cm) wide and 48in (121.9cm) tall (these dimensions cannot be rotated). You are welcome to bring a poster of whatever size you want up to this size. We have rigid boards for attaching your poster, so just bring your poster rolled up. Your poster should NOT be a print-out of your poster abstract or paper. Please use large fonts, brief text, graphs, and figures to provide an overview of your work.
