Where will my paper be published?

When will my paper be published?
We aim to publish papers one to two weeks in advance of the conference, but this is not guaranteed.
Why has my paper been rejected?
Papers are often rejected by our Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for incorrect formatting, or for being too long or too short. While papers can be rejected for other reasons, these are some of the most common.
If your paper is rejected, you will receive an explanation from the conference TAC explaining why.
