Advisory TPC Guidelines
Please read the following if you are a Advisory TPC member for INFOCOM 2014.
Please also read the Guidelines for TPC Members.
If you have been
assigned a paper to review by a TPC member for the INFOCOM 2014
conference, please read the
Guidelines for Delegated Reviewers
instead.
A number of INFOCOM 2014
TPC members will be designated as "Advisory TPC" members. Their
assignments/responsibilities will be as follows.
Summary of Action Items for Advisory TPC member
- By Sept 15, 2013: Please update your "Topics of Interest", “Methodologies”, "Conflict of Interest" on EDAS.
- They will not be assigned
any papers in the initial paper assignment phase (which will be
done in Aug.-Sep. timeframe).
- Around Oct. 1st, 2013
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, 2013.
