Review Process

The review process will follow a double-blind format. To ensure anonymity, please anonymize your submission, meaning that all submissions should not include any information that could identify the author(s) or their organization(s). This includes refraining from including author names or affiliations at the beginning of the paper, anonymizing citations and mentions of your own prior work directly related to your current submission, and excluding any funding or other acknowledgments.

Each paper will undergo review by a minimum of three regular Program Committee (PC) members or two senior PC members. Acceptance decisions will be based on several factors, including the paper's novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretical impact, and overall presentation.

  • Original: The paper explores a fresh idea, project, or problem; examines existing research with the promise of new insights, presents novel research, or introduces innovative perspectives on existing information.
  • Engaging: The presentation format actively involves the audience or has a high potential to attract conference attendees by addressing the community's needs.
  • Significant: The paper raises and deliberates on issues crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of existing techniques, and its contents are capable of wide dissemination and comprehension.
  • Quality: Claims within the paper are well-supported by substantial data, draw upon relevant literature, and candidly describe any limitations.
  • Clear: The intended outcomes of the paper are easily comprehensible.
  • Relevant: The paper aligns with one or more of the conference's themes.
