Policies worth checking twice
- Papers submitted to the main track are automatically considered for the Findings track; no separate submission is required.
- All deadlines are 11:59 pm anywhere on earth.
- Papers must be original and not under review elsewhere (implied by standard conference practice and absence of dual-submission exception).
