Re: ISWC06 Call for Papers

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

Mostly because each paper needs to have several reviewers. Many
reviewers end up reading quite a few papers - I've reviewed 10-15 for
past conferences. Last year there were more than 700 pages worth of
submissions - do you really want to spend a week doing nothing else
than reviewing? Feel free to volunteer! Once papers come back from
reviewers, the program committee has to go through all the reviews and
pick out which ones to accept, which can be a difficult process. Then
we have to let the authors have time to submit the final draft - this
is where updates to technology can be integrated. If you think you've
got something that's relying on advancing technology so much that an
extra four months will completely change it, then there are a variety
of other conferences you can submit to whenever it's ready.
