Review for Paper: [Paper Title] Reviewed by: [Your name and UNI] Part 1 ====== Overall Rating: __Definitely Accept __Probably Accept __Borderline __Probably Reject __Definitely Reject Explanation: (Please summarize the paper and describe its key contributions in your own words. Please stress both the positive and negative aspects of the paper. In particular, please explicitly describe what you feel is the best thing about this paper, and what is the worst.) Part 2 ====== Confidence: __Very Confident __Confident __Not Confident Explanation: (The default selection is "Confident". Use the other options to stress that you are absolutely sure about your conclusions (you are an expert in the respective area) or that you feel some doubt. If you have serious doubts about your ability to assess the paper, please complete the review as best you can, but make a note of this in the private comments to the committee below.) Part 3 ====== Novelty __Very Original __Original __Minor Originality __Has Been Done Before (Implies Reject, Justify Thoroghly) Explanation ("Very Original" papers open new directions and often become seminal papers. "Has Been Done Before" must be accompanied by relevant references.) Part 4 ====== Importance __Of Broad Interest __Interesting to a Subarea __Interesting Only to a Small number of Attendees __Out of our Scope (Implies Reject, Justify Thoroughly) Explanation (Papers "Of broad interest" should be of interest to most of the community, e.g., for the technical quality of the work, or for a surprising or particularly impressive result. Papers "Interesting to a Subarea" do not have to address every attendee, but should have an impact in a certain area. Papers "Interesting Only to a Small Number of Attendees" should only be considered for publication if they are very strong in other aspects.) Part 5 ====== Reference to Prior Work __Excellent __Reference Adequate __Some References Missing __Misses Key Related Work (Implies Reject, Justify Thoroughly) Explanation ("Misses Key Related Work" strongly suggests reject. This option should only be selected if the missing work is well known in the community and commonly cited. Otherwise you should give the authors the benefit of the doubt by selecting "Some References Missing" and by providing pointers to the missing references. The authors can easily add missing references, and will be expected to do so.) Part 6 ====== Clarity of Presentation __Reads Very Well __Is Clear Enough __Difficult to Read __Unreadable (Implies Reject, Justify Thoroughly) Explanation (Everything else being equal, clearly written papers are preferred. However, a paper with strong original results should not be rejected only because it is not well written. If you were able to evaluate the preceding criteria and to explain the key contribution, the work is definitely not "Unreadable". On the other hand, papers that are completely unintelligible can be rejected for this reason alone.) Part 7 ====== Technical Correctness __Definitely Correct __Probably Correct, Did not check completely __Contains Rectifiable Errors __Has Major Problems (Implies Reject, Justify Thoroughly) Explanation (The statement that a paper is "Definitely Correct" means that its conclusions are supported by flawless arguments. Proofs are correct, formulas are correct, there are no hidden assumptions, experiments are well designed and properly evaluated. The important distinction to make in this section is between errors that can be rectified relatively easily in the final version, and errors that invalidate the entire approach.) Part 8 ====== Experimental Validation __Excellent Validation or N/A-a Theoretical Paper __Limited but Convincing __Lacking in Some Ways __Insufficient Validation (Implies Reject, Justify Thoroughly) Explanation (Different papers need different levels of experimental validation. Please take this into account while completing this section. A theoretical paper may need no experiments. A paper presenting a new idea might just need an experiment illustrating that there exists a situation where the idea applies. A paper presenting a performance evaluation paper may need extremely thorough experiments and their evaluation. It is up to you to judge what is appropriate for each paper.)
