Evaluation

At least three regular PC members will review each paper. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretic impact, and presentation:

  • Soundness: The contributions should be supported by the rigorous application of appropriate research methods.
  • Significance: The authors are expected to argue the relevance and usefulness of their research and discuss the novelty through a comparison with related works.
  • Novelty: The contributions should be original and explained clearly and correctly concerning state-of-the-art.
  • Replicability: The contributions will take into account the extent to which sufficient information is available to support the full or partial independent replication of the claimed findings.
  • Presentation Quality: The submissions are expected to meet high standards of presentation, including the English language, avoiding ambiguities, clearly readable figures and tables, and respect of the formatting instructions.

If authors are unable to attend the conference and present their papers, they should contact the program chair so that substitute arrangement can be done, e.g., virtual presentation.
