Please read the
following if you are a Advisory TPC member for INFOCOM
2012. Please also read the Guidelines for
TPC Members. If you have been assigned a paper to review by a TPC member for
the INFOCOM 2012 conference, please read the Guidelines
for Delegated Reviewers instead.
A number
of INFOCOM 2012 TPC members will be designated as "Advisory TPC" members. Their
assignments/responsibilities will be as follows.
Summary of Action Items for Advisory
TPC members
- By Sept 15, 2011: Please
update your "Topics of Interest" and "Conflict of Interest" on EDAS. For
detailed instructions, please see here.
- They will not be assigned
any papers in the initial paper assignment phase (which will be done in
Aug.-Sep. timeframe).
- Around Oct. 1st, 2011
when the TPC member reviews are due, Advisory TPC members will be assigned
papers that are still missing reviews.
The target is to assign a small number of papers to Advisory TPC members, with the stipulation that the reviews be completed in 5 days; these members should also participate in their respective on-line decisions and if need be, write a TPC Lead summary if the corresponding TPC Lead member is defaulting.
Advisory TPC members must closely adhere to these deadlines, given that there is not much margin for delay. - The ATPC Chairs will
examine TPC summaries and reviews around Oct. 16th. They can seek additional
reviews for some of the papers (from Advisory TPC members and other external
reviewers).
Additional notes
- Advisory TPC members
must closely adhere to these deadlines, given that there is not much margin
for delay. For borderline
papers, the Advisory TPC members can focus on the main controversial issues
raised in the TPC member reviews, rather then submit a full detailed review.
- The Area TPC Chairs will
make their final recommendation to the TPC Co-Chairs by Oct. 30, 2011.
