Submission Information
CSF will implement three deadlines per year starting from CSF2020. Typically, submission deadlines are May, September/October, and February. CSF2020 will have only two cycles.
Important dates for CSF2020:
Fall cycle:
Oct. 4th, 2019: paper submission deadline
Dec. 13th, 2020: author notification
Winter cycle:
Feb 7th, 2020: paper submission deadline
April 17th, 2020: author notification
Review process:
Light double-blind reviewing. Submitted paper must be anonymized. The author information will be revealed to the reviewers after reviews are submitted.
Decisions:
The outcome of the review process can be one of the following three: accept, reject, major revision. In rare occasions, accepted papers are shepherded for minor modifications.
Major revisions:
Papers with “major revision” decision must be re-submitted within the following two cycles, accompanied by a writeup explaining how the revision meets reviewers’ revision requirements. These papers will be reviewed by the same reviewers as the initial submission. Otherwise, the paper will be considered a new submission, reviewed by serving PC members. A writeup explaining how the revision meets previous reviewers’ revision requirements is optional.
Resubmissions of rejected papers:
Rejected papers can be re-submitted at any time.
If a rejected paper is re-submitted within 11 months of the last deadline they were submitted to (e.g., rejected submissions to Sept. 2019 is resubmitted to May 2020 deadline), reviews and a writeup explaining how the current submission addresses concerns in the reviews must be submitted as supplementary material. The paper will be desk-rejected by the PC chairs if previous reviews or the explanation is missing.
We may use a different set of reviewers for re-submissions.
All resubmissions of rejected papers can optionally submit reviews from previous submissions and a writeup explaining how the current submission addresses concerns in the reviews as supplementary material.
