The 18th CCSC Southwest Region Conference March 28-29, 2025

Step I: Paper Submission

While acceptance of a paper will depend on the quality of the work as submitted, the author of an accepted paper will have a few weeks after acceptance to revise the submission slightly, especially in response to reviewers' comments.

Papers should be no longer than ten pages, not including references list, single-spaced, single-column layout. Papers may include an appendix but must stand on their own without the appendix.

To enable blind peer review, we require an anonymous version with all the author identifying information removed.

• To submit a paper, please go to the paper submission system at https://www.conftool.org/ccsc-sw.
• When you submit a paper electronically, you also set a password so that you can later view and update author and paper information. You should feel free to submit your paper early, because you can update your submission until the deadline.
• Please format your paper according to the instructions at https://www.ccsc.org/publications/submission-guidelines/.
• Convert your paper to .pdf format, and upload an anonymous version to the paper submission system. Attributed version will be requested if paper accepted.

If you have any questions regarding the paper submission and reviewing, please contact our paper chair: Megan Thomas at mthomas@cs.csustan.edu

Step II: Final Submission Guidelines

For papers accepted for publication, follow the instructions below in submitting the final set of materials.

• Due to the requirements of our publication system, we strongly prefer that the final version of the accepted paper be submitted as a LaTex file, with accompanying support files, following the instructions at
  https://www.ccsc.org/publications/submission-guidelines/.
• All authors must sign the Copyright Release Form. The Copyright Release Form can be downloaded from here. Each author should email a signed form for each paper.
• Please email both the final version of your paper in PDF format (as a reference to compare to the output of your LaTex files) and the signed Copyright Release Form in PDF format to the Papers Chair, Megan Thomas, mthomas@csustan.edu. These must be received by February 6, 2024.

If you have any questions regarding final submission, please contact the Papers Chair, Megan Thomas, mthomas@csustan.edu.
