Reviewing Standards for Sensys 2006

Reviewers often do not completely agree on a submission, so a careful evaluation of the merits and deficiencies of a paper need to be summarized in the review. If you like the paper immensely, do not assume other reviewers will feel the same way. Describe in detail what you think is important about it and how it will contribute to theory or practice. If you are sure the paper should be rejected, you should explain why, politely , but in detail, because other reviewers may recommend acceptance. Even if the paper is not accepted, the work may be published elsewhere, and the authors will still benefit from your constructive suggestions.

The tone of your review is important. When you write an anonymous review, you are acting as a representative of our field. It is always possible to be constructive.

Papers submitted to Sensys 2006 are expected to be original, innovative works. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages, formatted in ready-to-publish format (single spacing, two column, 10 point type). Please see the call for paper for the topic areas we are looking for, and the author sumission guidelines for the particulars about submissions.

The review process consists of three steps.

  1. You should read the paper and enter your review information. You can continue to return and edit your review information until the end of the review period, as long as you have not "finalized" it.

  2. When you are done with your review "finalize" it using the first menu selection, labeled "Are you done with your review".

  3. During program committee meeting, PC members will use all the review information and the information provided by the author to select papers for the conference.

When you review a paper, there are several things you need to tell us. This list follows the list of questions on the review form. When you change an entry on the form, you need to click the button labeled "Submit your paper review". If you leave the page without clicking that button, your review entry will not be stored.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT REVIEWING FOR SENSYS!
