Proposals you should not rate:

  • Items that you submitted (abstain)
  • Items that you feel unqualified to rate (no knowledge or experience with the topic/technology)

Other notes:

  • Unacceptable presentations: Please mark unacceptable presentations with a score of "1" and add a comment why you feel it is not acceptable.
  • Poster possibilities: If you find a presentation unacceptable or has a low score, but you feel it may be valuable as a poster presentation, please mark this clearly in the comments section.
  • Duplicate entries: If you find a duplicate entry, consider the first entry (by ID number) the duplicate and the last entry the "keeper."  Mark the duplicate with a "1" and add the comment of "duplicate" and enter the ID number of the "keeper" submission for comparison.  In the keeper comments, please also note the ID of the earlier duplicate.
  • Incorrectly categorized entries: If you find a proposal in your track that does not fit in your track, please update the track and leave a note in the comments/rating area.
  • Reach out to your peers: If you have questions or need clarification, reach out to the other members of the program committee in your area.
