            submission. *We highly recommend completing the eRights Form
            (action #2)<br>
            as soon as possible, as it takes time for ACM Digital
            Library to process<br>
            it before you can submit the final paper.*<br>
            <br>
            The camera-ready deadline is **Wednesday, August 12, 2026,
            Anywhere on<br>
            Earth (AoE)**.<br>
            <br>
            1. Format the paper properly<br>
            <br>
            - Template: Please prepare your final paper using the latest
            ACM<br>
            template version 2.19 with 10pt font (i.e., your LaTeX file
            should use<br>
            `\documentclass[sigconf,10pt]{acmart}`). You can download

            . We apologize that previously the HotStorage’26 Call for
            Papers pointed<br>
            to an older version of the ACM template. If you used that
            version for<br>
            your original submission, please update your camera-ready
            paper to<br>
            version 2.19.<br>
            <br>
            - Title: The camera-ready paper title should contain only
            the paper’s<br>
            actual title. Please do not include the submission type,
            such as<br>
            "Regular" or "Position," in the camera-ready version.<br>
            <br>
            - Page limit: You can add one additional page to the
            camera-ready paper.<br>
            <br>
            - Metadata: Make sure to include the proper CCS Concepts,
            Keywords, and<br>
            copyright information (see #2 below).<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            2. Complete ACM eRights Form<br>
            <br>
            The authors should have received ACM eRights forms from a
            separate<br>
            email. Please complete this form promptly and carefully; the
            title,<br>
            author names, affiliations, and other metadata entered in
            eRights should<br>
            be accurate and consistent with the camera-ready version. If
            you have<br>
            not received this email, please let us know. *Authors whose
            forms are<br>
            pending will be unable to upload their final papers.*<br>
            <br>
            The eRights form will require the ORCID of all authors.
            Authors who do<br>
            not already have one should register at <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fORCID.org&c=E,1,Puj8pf9uu2hOs8JDmTYQGhAvPHp91U_9kk0cGIQAdds23FDLyKC2p-L5Q1QObhX3jpuQth400FQtKX7P3Dv3KGz2f2RuLFCAow85CRaVxYT9Hg8DzWZl_5KO&typo=1&ancr_add=1">ORCID.org</a> first.<br>
            <br>
            After completing the eRights forms, the authors will be
            emailed the<br>
            rights text (bibliographic strip, ISBN, DOI, etc.). Authors
            must include<br>
            this text in their paper.<br>
            <br>
            As rights management emails are sent from an automated
            system, these may<br>
            wind up in SPAM folders. Please make sure the SPAM filter
            allows emails<br>
            from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rightsreview@acm.org">rightsreview@acm.org</a>.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            3. Submit the final version through TAPS<br>
            <br>
            Final papers will be processed through The ACM Production
            System (TAPS).<br>
            After authors complete their eRights forms, they will
            receive a separate<br>
            email from TAPS within 12 hours. The TAPS email will contain<br>
            instructions for uploading source, supplementary, and
            auxiliary files<br>
            for processing. Please keep an eye on the emails from<br>
            <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com">tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com</a><br>
