This may seem old-fashioned, but I guess they've been doing it this way for years, and it works just fine. <br /><br />In fact, I was on the DCC program committee for several years, and the whole thing works amazingly well. It is run every year by Martin Cohn and Jim Storer of Brandeis. It gets about 100 submissions each year. Martin and Jim FedEx you a package of 25 or so papers; you e-mail in your scores and comments; they add up the scores and send out the accept/rejects. All in about 4 weeks. I wish all conferences (and all program committees) ran so smoothly...Michael Mitzenmacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738274256402616703noreply@blogger.com
