1) This year’s abstract submission deadline is moved up to May 5th, 2020, while the paper submission deadline is May 12th, 2020. This shift allows us to handle the increased volume of submissions and accommodates the early rejection phase of the review process… which brings us to the next point.
2) Early rejection: Area Chairs will have two weeks to recommend papers for early rejection. We expect up to 20% of the papers to be selected for this category. Senior Area Chairs then have one week to approve the decision, at which point authors of rejected papers will be notified that their paper will not undergo any further review.
3) Authors are reviewers: We require that every (co-)author of every paper agrees to review papers if asked. This requirement is useful for increasing our reviewer pool size and to fairly distribute the reviewing load more evenly among community members who submit papers.
4) Broader impact: Authors are asked to include a section in their submissions discussing the broader impact of their work, including possible societal consequences — -both positive and negative.
5) Video spotlight: We request that all authors upload a video recording of the spotlight presentation of their work at camera-ready submission time, and we are also working on ways of enabling remote presentations as well as remote attendance.
