Eurosys Camera Ready

EuroSys Camera Ready

Use this after a EuroSys acceptance (direct or via a satisfied revision). EuroSys proceedings are published by ACM and land in the ACM Digital Library (dl.acm.org/conference/eurosys, confirmed 2026-07-08). For the 2027 edition, a single camera-ready date around March 5, 2027 was reported for both decision cohorts — that date comes from a third-party calendar, so treat it as 待核实 and take the controlling date from the acceptance email and the conference site.

What changes between acceptance and print

Because the template flip changes line breaks and float placement, never assume the accepted PDF's pagination survives: rebuild, then re-inspect every figure, table, and listing against the final page allowance in the author kit (the camera-ready page budget can differ from the 12-page review budget — 待核实 per edition).

ACM pipeline specifics

• Complete the ACM eRights form early; the DOI and copyright block it generates must be pasted into the source before the final build.
• Supply CCS concepts and keywords through the ACM workflow, not by hand-editing.
• Check ORCID linkage for every author — ACM DL indexing pulls from it.
• Validate the PDF with whatever checker the publication chairs mandate; ACM rejects noncompliant PDFs at the production stage, after your deadline.

# Sanity pass on the final build before upload
pdffonts camera.pdf | awk 'NR>2 && $(NF-2)=="no" {print "UNEMBEDDED:", $1}'
pdfinfo camera.pdf | grep -E 'Pages|Page size'

Reconciling the reviewed and final versions

• Fold in every change the reviews or revision conditions required, and nothing that alters the evaluated contribution.
• If the paper went through the one-shot revision path, keep the condition → change map from eurosys-author-response; publication chairs and shepherds (if the edition assigns them — 待核实) may ask for exactly that document.
• Keep section and figure numbering stable where possible so citations of the preprint stay meaningful.

Artifact and badge coupling

Camera-ready is when artifact evaluation results become visible: badges awarded through the sysartifacts process appear on the published paper. Sequence the work so the archival DOI (Zenodo or equivalent) exists before the camera-ready deadline, and cite that DOI — not a mutable GitHub URL — in the availability section. Details in eurosys-artifact-evaluation.

Metadata coherence sweep

The published record has more surfaces than the PDF; they must agree:

• Title capitalization and author ordering identical across the PDF, the eRights form, HotCRP, and the conference program listing.
• Affiliations as they should be archived — institutional name changes and authors who moved between submission and print are resolved now or never.
• Abstract in the ACM metadata matches the PDF abstract; DL search indexes the metadata, not the PDF.
• The availability/artifact paragraph names the DOI that will actually exist at publication time, not the one you intend to mint.
• Funding acknowledgments satisfy every grant's required wording — the camera-ready is the version funders audit.

Final-week sequence

1. Read the acceptance email twice; extract every date, form, and shepherd/chair instruction into a checklist with owners.
2. Apply required review changes first, cosmetic polish last — if time collapses, compliance survives.
3. Flip the template, rebuild, and re-paginate; fix orphaned floats and column overflows introduced by the author block.
4. Run the font-embedding and PDF checks; fix at the source, not with post-processing hacks that ACM production will reject.
5. Upload a day early. Publication chairs answer questions before the deadline, not after it.

Presentation logistics

EuroSys 2027 takes place in Rabat, Morocco, in April 2027. Registration requirements and any in-person presentation obligation for accepted papers are edition policy — 待核实 on the attendee pages before booking or skipping travel. Both spring-cohort and fall-cohort papers present at the same April conference.

Output format

[Camera-ready state] compliant / rebuild needed / blocked on forms
[Template flip] done / pending; pagination re-checked yes/no
[ACM workflow] eRights / DOI block / CCS+keywords / ORCID status
[Review-change ledger] <required change -> where applied>
[Artifact coupling] DOI minted? badge status? availability text final?
[待核实] <camera-ready date, page allowance, shepherding, attendance rule>
