All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the ICAC-05 review process. Posters are not subject to any of these restrictions.

Authors, please note that the organizers will follow the common practice of confidentiality in the reviewing process. However, since the paper review process is in electronic form, we cannot legally guarantee confidentiality, nor can we 'return' the paper to you. The organizers will inform the reviewers and the PC members of the common practice of confidentiality in the review process. If you require guarantees that are stronger than that, you will need to withdraw your submission.
