After a revised full paper or extended abstract is submitted through the Easy Chair system (in Microsoft Office Word format), the corresponding conference track's editor:
in the case of revised extended abstracts: decides whether the revised extended abstract is rejected, or accepted for presentation during the conference (without publication in the conference proceedings) and, respectively, submits the decision through the Easy Chair system;
in the case of revised full papers: contacts the original reviewers and reappoints them for the second round of reviewing:
the conference track editor will provide each reviewer, by email, the revised full paper, with all author details removed from the manuscript, alongside with the review report template;
each reviewer will complete the assigned revised full paper's review and return (by email) the review report (in Microsoft Office format) to the corresponding conference track's editor, who will upload it through the Easy Chair system, with all reviewer details removed from the report;
based on the two review reports the conference track editor decides whether the revised full paper is accepted for publication in the conference proceedings, or accepted for presentation during the conference without publication in the conference proceedings, and, respectively, submits the decision through the Easy Chair system.
For each full paper or extended abstract, conference tracks editors must comply with the ethics and malpractice statement.
