A Note About Deadlines

Deadlines will be strictly enforced in order to ensure efficient, fair and professional management of the review process. NO exceptions will be made. Please mark your calendar with important conference dates and plan so that your activities take place well before deadlines to avoid unforeseen or unavoidable delays in your schedule, to avoid technical overloads or human error caused by last-minute “traffic jams,” and to give SME and Program Committee members time to help you if needed.
