Paper Review Process
All paper proposals will be double-blind reviewed by at least two (2) reviewers. The double-blind review process exists to help protect the integrity of the submission and review process. Paper proposals are evaluated on clarity, analysis, methodological rigor, overall quality, and relevance to the track theme. Double-blind review means that author information and reviewer information are not known to each other.

Therefore, it is critical that all author-identifying information and attribution should be removed from the paper proposal document that is uploaded to the submission system.
