POLICES
Before you submit
Anonymous submission
Research Track papers must be anonymous for double-blind review. Remove names, affiliations, acknowledgments and document metadata.

Each author may appear on up to six (6) Research Track submissions. No limit for other tracks.
No author changes
Authors can't be added to a submission after the deadline.
Publicity during review
Don't widely advertise or promote your paper during review in a way that could compromise anonymity.
Withdrawal
You can withdraw a paper before reviews are released, but not after reviews have been sent.
