This review policy is followed for all academic papers submitted to conferences managed by a Conference. In the first instance, contributors are asked to submit a 150-250 word abstract of their work. The conference selection panel considers all abstracts that are received by the published closing date. At this stage the key issue is the relevance of the proposed contribution. Providing the work is relevant then the author(s) are invited to submit a full paper of a maximum of 8 pages.
When the full paper is submitted, it is double-blind reviewed by a member of the Conference Review Committee. This review focuses on 10 issues intended to ensure that the paper is relevant to the conference, is of a sufficiently high quality to be accepted for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings and meets the submission criteria laid down by the programme committee.
In the event that a reviewer rejects a paper, a second opinion will be taken and the final decision about acceptance made by the programme chair. Submission dates can be found on the web page of the conference.
