Peer-Review All submissions to this conference will be sent to at least Three (3) independent reviewers selected from a group of well-established researchers by the Technical Program Committee and evaluated based on originality, technical and research content, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. The full paper submissions will be chosen based on technical merit, interest, applicability, and how well they fit a coherent and balanced technical program. We will first check plagiarism status of each submitted paper, and there is a hard rule that the similarity rate cannot exceed 18%. We take plagiarism case very seriously, which include self-plagiarism of authors' own published papers. Additionally, the papers have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). Papers with high percentage of plagiarism and self-plagiarism as well as double submission will be withdrawn.
