Peer review declaration

All conference organisers/editors are required to declare details about their peer review. Therefore, please provide the following information: • Type of peer review: Double-blind Double-blind: While receiving a new submission, we/our editors firstly check the scope of it whether suitable for our conference. If not, it will be rejected directly. If yes, it will be sent out to check plagiarism and then peer review. We choose 2 reviewers for each of the submission and after getting the two reviews, we conclude a final result for the paper. Once the two reviews show totally different attitudes, we will find another reviewer for it. And final decisions are made by our editor team based on the reviews. • Conference submission management system: By our own submission system • Number of submissions received: 318 • Number of submissions sent for review: 297 • Number of submissions accepted: 125 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 39.3% • Average number of reviews per paper: 2-3 • Total number of reviewers involved: Around 120 • Any additional info on review process: Each reviewer reviews 3-5 papers on average.
