Professional Event Submission Guidelines

Contributors are encouraged to consider some guidelines regarding professional event submissions. (Where a "Professional Event," is taken to mean a conference, symposium, etc.) These guidelines are meant only to provide general criteria for evaluation, and are historically typical of postings. They are in no way meant to discourage contribution.

• Only one submission detailing a call for papers may be posted for each professional event. A "call for papers" in this sense usually refers to an initial announcement, describing the focus of the event, requesting contributions, and enumerating dates and deadline information.
  This call should also detail other calls (e.g., industrial track, emerging results track, education track, demos, posters, workshop proposals, tutorials).
• Only one submission may posted for all calls for papers of the workshops organized within a professional event; this submission should be posted once the list of approved workshops is finalized.
• Only one submission may be posted for all student-related events (e.g., doctoral symposium, student research competition, call for student volunteers) organized within a professional event. If the only student-related sub-event is a doctoral symposium, its call should be announced in the call for papers of the main event.
• Only one submission detailing a call for participation may be posted for each professional event. A "call for participation" in this sense usually refers to a supplementary announcement, describing accepted papers, workshops and other program details, providing registration instructions, and enumerating further dates and deadline information. Submissions claimed to be "call for participation" and sent after the submission of a "call for papers" but before the deadline for submitting papers to the event, will be returned.
  Calls for participation of individual workshops are not allowed.
• Submissions that advertise a professional event should include the URL for the event web site, if available. Those interested in the professional event are presumed to be kept aware of updates via this URL.
• Submissions aggregating calls for multiple events will be returned. Submissions detailing calls for federated events may be posted at the discretion of the moderator.

Other guidelines can be found in the section on the Moderation of Contributions.
