Templates for CCSC Conferences

This repository contains information on how to format various publishable items for CCSC conferences.

• Technical Paper
• Nifty Assignment Abstract
• Tutorial Abstract
• Workshop Abstract
• Poster Abstract
• Panel Abstract

There are three ways to format your work.

Use Overleaf 2.0

1. Go to https://v2.overleaf.com/ and setup an account for free.

2. Go to https://github.com/lubaochuan/ccsc-editor/blob/master/paper_template.zip and click on "download" to get paper_template.zip for papers, or go to https://github.com/lubaochuan/ccsc-editor/blob/master/other_template.zip and click on "download" to get other_template.zip for other publication types (various abstracts).

3. Select "New Project" on Overleaf, choose to "Upload Project" and upload the zip file you just downloaded.

4. Click on the "Menu" on the upper left of your Overleaf project, and be sure that "TeX Live version" is set to "2020".

5. After the zip file is uploaded and expanded, you can edit the source files and click on "Recompile" to see the PDF version of your work in the browser.

6. Watch this demo video on how to create a project on overleaf with a .zip file.

Another way to use Overleaf is to click on the following shared Overleaf projects and make a copy of your own.

• click template project for papers(shared Overleaf project) and make a copy.
• click template project for other publication types(shared Overleaf project) and make a copy.
• watch this demo video on how to copy a shared project on overleaf.

Use your own Latex

1. Go to https://github.com/lubaochuan/ccsc-editor and download a zip file or clone the repository.
2. Open the source files with your software and compile them as usual.

Use MS Word

Word docs are acceptable if you do not want to use Latex. Please format your work using the PDF samples as examples (paper, abstract). Exact formatting is unnecessary because Word docs will be reformatted into Latex.

ccsc-editor's Issues

normalsize vs normalize?

I get an error on this line when trying to build in LaTeX. Should this command be normalsize instead of normalize?

Sample paper compilation error

Hi, I just tried to import the "sample.zip" project into Overleaf as per the README instructions, but I encountered an error ("Extra \endgroup") upon compilation (see screenshot).

I had originally downloaded the sample.tex file from the repo and compiled with my own LaTeX (texlive on Mac OS), encountered the same issue, and thought it might just be my local LaTeX that was to blame.

Any help/instructions you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Need to rebuild sample.pdf

The sample.pdf file (in paper_template) is not in sync with the latest tex files. The copyright year, section title font sizes, and sidewaysfigure options are different. You might want to rebuild the pdf to match.

Copyright form needs to include 2021 options

Copyright form needs to include 2021 options (Volume 37) for the dropdown, and also has to update the copyright year in the statement from 2020 to 2021.

xeCJK package

I had to comment out the

\usepackage{xeCJK}

line to get the sample to compile on my Mac's installation (a standard and up-to-date texlive, I believe, installed through fink). When I kept it in and used the xelatex command as the first errors suggested, I was getting many more errors about fonts that could not be installed.

Is there any harm in removing that package for the default template? Once I did it, I was able to use pdflatex as I normally do.
