Statistics
• 6 submissions
• 66% acceptance rate
• Reasons for rejection
– „Out of scope“ (pure math)
– Quality issues
Modus operandi
•
•
•
•
•
Each PC member reviewed all submissions
PC chair collected the individual reviews
Reviews were distributed to the PC
Electronic discussion (1st week of March)
Extensive feedback for authors was provided
• Exceptional: One „conditional“ accept
– Authors were given the opportunity to revise their
submission
Discussion/suggestions
• small number of submissions
– more „advertising“? how/where ...
– cancel the session?
• plan a revision loop from the beginning
(more important than for the paper track)
• call needs some clarification
(to avoid „out of scope“ cases)
• world of video formats has become a zoo
– enforce specific conditions on audio & video codecs?
Reminder: Accepted videos
