Double-Blind Reviewing
The review process for WCCI 2022 will be double-blind, i.e. reviewers will not know the authors' identity (and vice versa). Authors should ensure their anonymity in the submitted papers. In brief:
-
authors' names should not be included in the submitted pdf;
-
please refer to your prior work in the third person wherever possible;
-
a reviewer may be able to deduce the authors' identities by using external resources, such as technical reports published on the web. The availability of information on the web that may allow reviewers to infer the authors' identities does not constitute a breach of the double-blind submission policy.
Note that anonymizing your paper is mandatory, and papers that explicitly or implicitly reveal the authors' identities may be rejected.
Paper Submission Guidelines
Please read the following paper submission guidelines before submitting your papers:
