On the website for the ACM SIG Proceedings Template, there is an example where three authors all share the same affiliation (See number 17).
However, my situation is a bit different, I am part of a team of two other authors, we are all from the same Uni, also there is a team of two from a second University, and finally the third author who is from a different Uni entirely- but is by all accounts the most important author and should be first.
Ideally I would want it to look something like:
I tried the following code which results in a horrendous error:
\numberofauthors{6}
% Three authors sharing the same affiliation.
\author{
\alignauthor Ben King\\
\email{king@cs.berkeley.edu}
%
\alignauthor Georgia Tobin\\
\email{tobin@cs.berkeley.edu}
%
\alignauthor Gerald Murray\\
\email{murrray@cs.berkeley.edu}
%
\sharedaffiliation
\affaddr{Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science } \\
\affaddr{University of California, Berkeley } \\
\affaddr{Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 }\\
\alignauthor Ben King\\
\email{king@cs.berkeley.edu}
%
\alignauthor Georgia Tobin\\
\email{tobin@cs.berkeley.edu}
%
\alignauthor Gerald Murray\\
\email{murrray@cs.berkeley.edu}
%
\sharedaffiliation
\affaddr{Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science } \\
\affaddr{University of California, Berkeley } \\
\affaddr{Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 }
}
Does anyone know how I could render the authors to appear as I've made in that toy example, the photo?
UPDATE*
The following is also awful:
\numberofauthors{5}
\author{
\alignauthor Ben King\\
\email{king@cs.berkeley.edu}
\alignauthor Georgia Tobin\\
\email{tobin@cs.berkeley.edu}
\alignauthor Gerald Murray\\
\email{murrray@cs.berkeley.edu}
\sharedaffiliation
\affaddr{Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science} \\
\affaddr{University of California, Berkeley } \\
\affaddr{Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 }\\
\\
\alignauthor
Aba-Sah Dadzie\\ % names
\affaddr{KMi, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK} \\ % affiliations
\email{aba-sah.dadzie@open.ac.uk} % emails
\alignauthor
Gandalf Buscher, Frank Bensberg\\ % names

}
