All submissions are first reviewed for completeness and only then sent to be assessed editor assigned by Programme committee who will decide whether they are suitable for peer review. Editor has to be responsible for scientific section and cannot be on the author list or has any other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript.
Editors will consider the peer-reviewed reports when making a decision, but are not bound by the opinions or recommendations therein. A concern raised by a single peer reviewer or the Editor themself may result in the paper being rejected. Authors receive peer review reports with the editorial decision on their manuscript.
Proceedings papers are reviewed by the Programme Chairs and Programme Committee members of the respective section, with help from external reviewers selected by them.

The manuscript should not be submitted to more than one publication for simultaneous consideration. The submitted work should be original and should not have been published elsewhere in any form or language (partially or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. (Please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the concerns about text-recycling (‘self-plagiarism’), etc.
