# AAAI Camera Ready

Use this after AAAI acceptance. Reopen the current camera-ready email, publication/attendance page,
author kit, copyright instructions, and proceedings source-file requirements.

## Camera-ready checklist

- Apply the current AAAI proceedings template and page rules. AAAI-26 accepted main-track papers
  used 7 proceedings pages plus pages solely for references and acknowledgments, with an option to
  purchase up to two additional technical-content pages.
- Prepare source files as required: LaTeX or Word source, figures, bibliography, style files, and a
  high-resolution PDF.
- Add author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, funding, and ethical disclosures where required.
- Keep all references from the submitted paper unless superseded, and explain major citation updates
  conservatively.
- Resolve reviewer-facing clarity issues without changing the scientific identity of the paper.
- Complete copyright transfer and any AAAI Digital Library metadata.
- Ensure at least one author registers and presents the paper, unless current exceptional-circumstance
  procedures apply.

## Release plan

- Replace anonymous code/data links with durable public repositories or archives.
- Publish a project page only if it is stable, accurate, and does not overclaim beyond the paper.
- Preserve a copy of the submitted PDF, reviews, rebuttal, accepted PDF, source package, and artifact
  release for future journal extensions.
