[Hotstorage-chairs] [HotStorage 2026] HotStorage’26 Camera-Ready Instructions

[DUO ZHANG]

Hi Seungkwan,

I noticed that the eRights form status is still listed as “Process Start” rather than “Finished.” For your hotstorage26-p11 paper (The Host Is Not Idle: Computational SSDs for Host-Free Checkpointing in Multimodal LLM Training). Could you please complete the eRights form as soon as possible?

The TAPS staff informed us that if a paper is in TAPS but the rights form is not completed, it means the completed rights form may have been reset. In that case, the author must complete the rights form again; otherwise, the paper will not be published. Once the rights form is completed again, the corresponding author must notify TAPS that the form has been completed and request that the updated information be pulled in.

I have just resent the acceptance email with the eRights link to your corresponding author, Myoungsoo Jung. Please check it and complete the form as soon as possible.

Please let us know if you have any questions or encounter any issues.

Thanks,
Duo

Dear Chenhao and Duo,
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)

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:

  1.  hotstorage26-3 (Paper #11) was flagged with "\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.
  2.  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.

We have already contacted TAPS Support (tapssupport at aptaracorp.com<mailto:tapssupport at aptaracorp.com>) 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.

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.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Best Regards,
Seungkwan Kang

Hi authors,

We noticed that your paper still hasn’t completed the eRights form. Please complete it as soon as possible, as it will block your final paper submission to TAPS. The deadline for the camera-ready version is Aug 12, AOE.

Dear authors,

Congratulations again on the acceptance of your paper to HotStorage’26!
Please follow the instructions below when preparing your camera-ready
submission. *We highly recommend completing the eRights Form (action #2)
as soon as possible, as it takes time for ACM Digital Library to process
it before you can submit the final paper.*

The camera-ready deadline is **Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Anywhere on
Earth (AoE)**.

1. Format the paper properly

- Template: Please prepare your final paper using the latest ACM
template version 2.19 with 10pt font (i.e., your LaTeX file should use
`\documentclass[sigconf,10pt]{acmart}`). You can download the template
from
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.hotstorage.org/2026/files/hotstorage2026_paper_template.zip__;!!Mak6IKo!PHrCGSVyiaOrXwHvXK4VafusEBLGOLuQEN978oX_Qt2xYIOyaZfHw09FCZ2UAOmBgGEmejSQGl_tQ19emHpdRIN3p0VaP1g$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.hotstorage.org/2026/files/hotstorage2026_paper_template.zip__;!!Mak6IKo!PHrCGSVyiaOrXwHvXK4VafusEBLGOLuQEN978oX_Qt2xYIOyaZfHw09FCZ2UAOmBgGEmejSQGl_tQ19emHpdRIN3p0VaP1g$>
. We apologize that previously the HotStorage’26 Call for Papers pointed
to an older version of the ACM template. If you used that version for
your original submission, please update your camera-ready paper to
version 2.19.

- Title: The camera-ready paper title should contain only the paper’s
actual title. Please do not include the submission type, such as
"Regular" or "Position," in the camera-ready version.

- Page limit: You can add one additional page to the camera-ready paper.

- Metadata: Make sure to include the proper CCS Concepts, Keywords, and
copyright information (see #2 below).


2. Complete ACM eRights Form

The authors should have received ACM eRights forms from a separate
email. Please complete this form promptly and carefully; the title,
author names, affiliations, and other metadata entered in eRights should
be accurate and consistent with the camera-ready version. If you have
not received this email, please let us know. *Authors whose forms are
pending will be unable to upload their final papers.*

The eRights form will require the ORCID of all authors. Authors who do
not already have one should register at https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fORCID.org&c=E,1,TShUbib2iWYFbRf3SCvRyj0GJKMq7uCG8gxl8GQG3lYcfxUbtPh4-n7Ql9pgc-4rimmWjURbrTN2mwwlB-Br-626AtOUM9NNgMtsJan8R3VzwDD8rVBL0-iXezoQ&typo=1 first.

After completing the eRights forms, the authors will be emailed the
rights text (bibliographic strip, ISBN, DOI, etc.). Authors must include
this text in their paper.

As rights management emails are sent from an automated system, these may
wind up in SPAM folders. Please make sure the SPAM filter allows emails
from rightsreview at acm.org<mailto:rightsreview at acm.org>.


3. Submit the final version through TAPS

Final papers will be processed through The ACM Production System (TAPS).
After authors complete their eRights forms, they will receive a separate
email from TAPS within 12 hours. The TAPS email will contain
instructions for uploading source, supplementary, and auxiliary files
for processing. Please keep an eye on the emails from
tapsadmin at aptaracorp.awsapps.com<mailto:tapsadmin at aptaracorp.awsapps.com>

You may find the detailed workflow with TAPS at
