1) Double-blind review

All papers for the Regular Sessions and Special Sessions will undergo a double-blind review process, meaning that both the authors and reviewers will remain anonymous during the paper evaluation process. You MUST adhere to the following guidelines to conceal your identity: (1) Eliminate all the author names, contact information, and affiliations from the entire manuscript. Individual persons' names, however, can appear in the cited references. (2) Passive voice sentences may help to keep the manuscript anonymous (e.g., "It has been shown that… [1]"). You should avoid using words such as "my" and "our". (3) Eliminate acknowledgements and references to funding sources. These can be added after the paper is accepted. (4) Do not contact our Technical Program Committee (TPC) members outside of your own organization to solicit input on your manuscript. Manuscripts that are not properly anonymized will not be considered for review.
To ensure your submission complies with these rules, please carefully review your manuscript yourself before submitting it.
