Review Process
Your submitted proposal will be checked for errors and you will be notified if you need to re-submit your proposal. If your submission passes inspection, it will be entered into the review process. Depending on the subject of your proposal, the Technical Program Chairs will assign your paper to a committee of reviewers for their demonstrated knowledge in the subject of your proposal. The reviewers will review your proposal and will rate it according to quality, relevance, originality, and clarity of presentation. The conference Technical Program Committee will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation during the conference.
