Additional Comments about the Technical Program Members and the Paper Review Process:
A) The TPC consists of academic and industry experts. The role of the TPC is to perform expert reviews of each submitted paper and recommend acceptance to the TPC chairs. The committee is actively recruiting TPC members to represent each area of the CFP.
B) All submitted long and short papers will be full manuscripts of at least 3 pages in length and will contain an Abstract.
C) Reviewers receive the following criteria for evaluation: strength and weaknesses of the proposed research, appropriate references are cited, summary and relevance to the CFP topics.
D) Each paper will be evaluated by 3 reviewers.
E) The overall ratings from all reviews are used to decide acceptance. No single person has a say on whether a paper qualifies for publication
F) The acceptance rate in prior conference has been between 40-45%
G) Persons with conflict of interest are not assigned to review papers where the conflict exists. Conflict of interest is identified by the EDAS submission system prior to assigning papers to reviewers.
