Authors upload papers/manuscripts through the conference webpage. The papers then go through the first round of a peer review process. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Their recommendations and proposals for improvements of the paper will be sent to the authors (if any).

When the paper status is "Paper revision required", the authors must revise the paper. After the authors address all comments from reviewers, they re-submit the revised paper. The changes in the revised paper must be highlighted.  The reviewers will check whether the paper is revised correctly, otherwise the paper will be returned to authors for futher revision. Revisions of a rejected paper will not be accepted.
