Instructions for submitting authors
The ConfTool System can be used for handling paper submission, the review process, and participant registration. You have to create a user account in order to use any facilities of the system.Create a new ConfTool Account
Go to the ConfTool login page of your event and follow the "Register New" link under "New Account". After filling in the required fields of the Web form (marked by asterisk '*'), a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you with your account details. Please provide valid name, address, and email address, since these will be used later for sending you relevant information about your submission.
You do not have to create a new user account for each paper you submit. The same user account can be used for multiple submissions and for participant registration. If you are already a registered user, e.g. as PC member or reviewer, please use that account for your submissions, too.
Login to the ConfTool System
After having obtained a user account, you can log in with your username and password under "Registered Users". If you have forgotten your password a new one can be obtained through the "Forgotten your password?" link.
Depending on the phase of the submission, review, and registration process you will see different options after logging in. If you have already submitted papers, you can always access the list with your submissions and see their status.
For all subsequent operations you need a user account and will have to log in first.
Submit a New Contribution
Select "Submit Contribution" (standard version) or go to "Your Submissions" (pro version) and select the type of contribution you want to submit.
Please enter all required details for your contribution into the submission form (marked by asterisk) and proceed.
Update Contribution Details
Until the submission deadline, you can update your contribution details or withdraw the contribution. The last updated version at the time of submission deadline will be considered for review, unless the contribution is withdrawn.
Viewing the Review Results
After the review process has finished you will receive a message from the chairs by e-mail. The review results will be made viewable to the authors via the ConfTool system. Please go to "Your Submissions" and select "Review Results" for your paper after logging in. There you will see the final outcome of the review and the scores as well as the reviewers' comments.
Register for Conference Participation
For each accepted paper at least one presenting author has to register for conference participation, otherwise the contribution will not be considered in the conference proceedings.
For our events, participant registration is also handled via the ConfTool system. If you already have an account you can do so by clicking on the "Register as Participant" link. This option gets available, as soon as the conference program is set. You will get an according message from the conference organizers.
