Track chairs have the following responsibilities:

1) Review and accept/reject submitted papers and suggest a discussant if the paper is accepted for “presentation with discussion.” Each paper should be reviewed by two qualified people active in the topic.

  • Reach out to potential referees/reviewers to communicate the overall objectives of the conference and each track.
  • Ensure that accepted papers contain original results and have not been published. Papers that have been published will not be considered for the conference.
  • Structure the sessions and, if possible, introduce the presenters.

2) Track chairs may also recommend whether a paper should be considered for “presentations followed by comments from discussants” or a “presentation followed by a question and answer session.”
