Refereeing Process
All conference papers will be fully peer reviewed by an International Review Panel to ensure research dissemination of the highest quality. The peer review process involves abstracts being reviewed by members of the organizing Committee to ensure their suitability to the conference, and selected authors are then invited to submit a full draft paper. The full paper is then subjected to a peer review process by the International Review Panel. Successful authors have the opportunity to modify their papers to include recommendations from the International Review Panel. All approved papers are published in the CD-ROM conference proceedings.
