o Network-on-chip (NoC) Systems
In addition to research papers, COMSNETS is also interested in Experience
papers that present the details and insights from real-life testbeds and/or
large-scale experimental platforms around the research topics mentioned
above. Such papers should provide detailed insights into (1) building the
testbeds/platforms, (2) lessons learned and (3) implications for further
research in the relevant domain. Experience papers shall follow the same
submission process as the research papers with an "Experience:" prefix in
the title.
The COMSNETS main conference and workshops will follow a double-blind
review policy. Information about the authors will not be shared with the
reviewers during the review process. The submitted paper should be
anonymous and not have any reference to the authors names and/or
institution. Authors are welcome to release their paper in a
non-peer-reviewed location (such as a technical report by your institution
or arXiv), but you should not broadcast information about the publication
widely. For example, do not post it to large mailing lists or social media
forums where PC members would easily encounter it, and do not do general
press releases. Authors are also welcome to talk about their work (as
work-in-progress) at local institutions. In either case, authors should be
aware of PC members who might encounter the work and avoid sharing the work
in a way that a PC member would encounter it. Submissions should be made
through EDAS at: https://edas.info/N34096 .
