Schedule

The best paper award evaluation procedure will be as follows:

  • The authors should submit their paper to the poster session by April 16.
  • The programme committee will make a decision about acceptance of papers for the poster session and select a subset of papers to be considered candidates for the awards (May 1).
  • The authors of the selected papers should submit full papers for the second round of reviewing by May 15.
  • The program committee will review full versions of the selected papers and make decisions on the awards (June 14).
