Policies worth checking twice

  • Submissions are single-blind; anonymization is not required.
  • Papers already posted as preprints (e.g., on arXiv) are acceptable for submission.
  • Authors are encouraged to incorporate feedback received during the workshop into final camera-ready versions.
  • Final submissions will close at a TBA deadline; rolling submissions are offered with priority notification windows.
  • Double-blind conference policies (e.g., HRI) may consider preprints as violating anonymity — authors should verify target venue policies.
