Reviewing Process
- Submission: Authors submit their papers, abstracts, or proposals through an online submission system.
- Initial Screening: The program chair and Technical Program Chairs (TPC) members conduct an initial review to ensure submissions meet the conference's basic requirements, such as formatting and relevance.
- Peer Review: Submissions are assigned to TPC members and reviewers, who evaluate the content, quality, and relevance of the submission.
- Review Feedback: Reviewers provide detailed feedback on the submission, including strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement.
- Discussion and Decision: TPC members discuss the submissions, considering the review feedback, and make decisions on acceptance, rejection, or revision.
- Notification: Authors are notified of the decision, along with feedback and suggestions for improvement.
- Camera-Ready Submission: Accepted authors submit their revised papers, which are then prepared for publication.
