<p><span style="font-family:"Malgun Gothic",sans-serif">Dear Chenhao and Duo,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the update regarding the 75% TAPS status.<br>
<br>
We would like to explain why we have not yet given the final author approval.<br>
Both papers now compile correctly in TAPS, so processing itself is no longer the issue. However, the generated proofs still display every co-author's email address on the title page, which conflicts with our institution's policy of not disclosing individual
author email addresses (except the corresponding author's).<br>
<br>
We have therefore requested TAPS Support to suppress the co-author email addresses from the published PDF and HTML outputs. TAPS has agreed to apply this change on their side, but it has not yet been reflected in the current proofs. For this reason, we are
intentionally holding off on approving the final version until the corrected proof is generated.<br>
<br>
As soon as TAPS completes this correction and the proof renders as intended, we will approve both papers immediately so that the proceedings are not delayed. We will keep you posted on the progress, and please let us know if anything further is needed from
our side in the meantime.<br>
<br>
Thank you again for your patience and continued support.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">Dear Duo and Chenhao,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the follow-up. We have just completed the eRights forms again for both papers:<br>
- Paper #11 (hotstorage26-3): The Host Is Not Idle: Computational SSDs for Host-Free Checkpointing in Multimodal LLM Training<br>
- Paper #23 (hotstorage26-4): GraceSSD: Per-File Reliability Hints for Error-Tolerant Machine Learning Storage<br>
<br>
As the TAPS staff mentioned, we have reset the eRights forms to resolve the following issue:<br>
During the TAPS submission process, we found that the author email addresses were automatically populated from the eRights form into the final generated paper, which conflicts with our institution's policy of not disclosing the authors' email addresses (except
the corresponding author's).<br>
TAPS Support initially advised us to reset the eRights form and re-submit it without the email addresses. However, after contacting ACM, we confirmed that the email addresses are a mandatory field, so TAPS Support has instead agreed to hide the co-author email
addresses on their side after the final submission is processed.<br>
<br>
Now that we have finished the eRights forms, we will upload the LaTeX sources for both papers as soon as the TAPS links arrive.<br>
We would be grateful if you could forward us the submission link whenever it becomes available.<br>
Also, please note that TAPS may need some additional time after the submission to apply the email-hiding change.<br>
<br>
Thank you again for your continued support.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="font-claude-response-body">Dear Chenhao and Duo,<br>
I am Seungkwan Kang, the submitting author of Paper #11, "The Host Is Not Idle: Computational SSDs for Host-Free Checkpointing in Multimodal LLM Training," and Paper #23, "GraceSSD: Per-File Reliability Hints for Error-Tolerant Machine Learning Storage". (hotstorage26-3,
and hotstorage26-4, respectively)<br>
<br>
After we completed the TAPS submissions for both papers, they were moved to "TAPS Support" status on 8/14 due to conversion errors. We have examined both flagged issues and believe they are false positives:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">hotstorage26-3 (Paper #11) was flagged with "<span style="font-family:"Noto Sans KR",sans-serif;color:black">\</span>correspondingauthor not mapped for XML/HTML conversion" error. This command is defined
in the official acmart template and is used as-is in the sample LaTeX files.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">hotstorage26-4 (Paper #23) was flagged for "TAPS incompatible packages: lstmisc.sty, lstlang1.sty" error. The packages are internal components of the "listings" package, which is on the TAPS accepted package
list.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="font-claude-response-body">We have already contacted TAPS Support (<a href="mailto:tapssupport@aptaracorp.com">tapssupport@aptaracorp.com</a>) with the details above, asking them to review both submissions and resume processing, and we are ready to
make adjustments if any genuinely unsupported construct is identified.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body">We are reporting this per the camera-ready instructions so that you are aware both papers are currently held at TAPS Support rather than pending action on our side. We will let you know as soon as processing resumes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body">Thank you again for your continued support.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Subject: </b>[HotStorage 2026] HotStorage’26 Camera-Ready Instructions</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear authors,<br>
<br>
Congratulations again on the acceptance of your paper to HotStorage’26!<br>
Please follow the instructions below when preparing your camera-ready<br>
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 the template<br>
from<br>
</span><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.hotstorage.org/2026/files/hotstorage2026_paper_template.zip__;!!Mak6IKo!PHrCGSVyiaOrXwHvXK4VafusEBLGOLuQEN978oX_Qt2xYIOyaZfHw09FCZ2UAOmBgGEmejSQGl_tQ19emHpdRIN3p0VaP1g$"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.hotstorage.org/2026/files/hotstorage2026_paper_template.zip__;!!Mak6IKo!PHrCGSVyiaOrXwHvXK4VafusEBLGOLuQEN978oX_Qt2xYIOyaZfHw09FCZ2UAOmBgGEmejSQGl_tQ19emHpdRIN3p0VaP1g$</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <br>
. 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,1,2O8PprSza_rBtfi3hhojo87kfD9dqWBDhJRBSBsadYTs60N83a20E0ZlNtmTikYch5Rp63sofwCugdJablhYaDDil-KbBj-3m-GI8S5Gp_vzkw,,&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 </span><a href="mailto:rightsreview@acm.org"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">rightsreview@acm.org</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt">.<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>
</span><a href="mailto:tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
<br>
