Review Process

Submissions will undergo an anonymous (double-blind) review process. As such, your manuscript must not reveal your identity or affiliation. Specifically: remove author names and affiliations from the manuscript; anonymize references to your own previous work closely related to the paper; and exclude acknowledgments, such as funding information.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three regular program committee members or two senior members. Acceptance will be determined based on factors such as originality, technical depth, clarity, impact (both practical and theoretical), and presentation quality.

• Original: The paper should present a novel idea, project, or issue, provide new insights into existing research, offer fresh findings, or give a unique perspective on existing knowledge.
• Engaging: The presentation should be interactive, captivate the audience, or address community needs in a manner likely to draw significant interest at the conference.
• Significant: The paper should address crucial issues aimed at improving the effectiveness of current techniques, with content that is both comprehensible and broadly applicable.
• Quality: The claims made in the paper should be supported by sufficient data, cite relevant existing work, and transparently acknowledge any limitations.
• Relevant: The topic of the paper must align with one of the conference's designated tracks.
