Important Dates

No separate advance abstract registration is required. Authors may register a new abstract and submit the complete paper by November 5, 2026, at 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE, UTC-12). Abstract text remains required in HotCRP. The earlier October 29 advance-registration cutoff is superseded.

Each new submission must nominate a senior author or advisor holding a PhD who commits to three reviews and provide the required reserve-reviewer details in HotCRP. Existing PC members retain their agreed reviewing commitments. A person nominated on multiple papers contributes one reviewing commitment, not an additional commitment for each paper. PhD students may assist as subreviewers subject to conflict checking and confidentiality; the named responsible reviewer must hold a PhD.

The initial paper-submission deadline is November 5, 2026, at 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE, UTC-12). Upload the complete paper, complete the required fields, mark it ready for review, and submit by that deadline.

Papers already submitted by the paper deadline may be updated during a one-day grace period, through November 6, 2026, at 23:59:59 AoE. This update window applies to submitted papers; an unsubmitted draft must be completed by the November 5 deadline to enter review.

Submission deadlines close at 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE, UTC−12).
