Become A Reviewer
A rigorous, unprejudiced and efficient review process is the cornerstone of a reputable conference. Each paper submitted to the conference will be evaluated by at least three experts. Detailed and constructive comments from reviewers often help authors remedy flaws of their work and improve paper quality. The final decision on whether a manuscript can be accepted, reviewed or rejected is made by the editor basically on the recommendation of reviewers. We are sincerely grateful to reviewers who devoted their time to paper review and other support as requested by the Organizing Committee.

How to review
Peer-review should be performed ethically and responsively. Reviewers will be invited to review a manuscript with the title and abstract provided. Reviewing the title and abstract quickly, reviewers should respond promptly to the invitation. If you could not take the review task for some reason (e.g., too busy), you should inform the editor promptly.
Peer reviewers are expected to give notice to the editor when these situations occur：

The review report concludes with comments on each part of the paper, such as title, abstract, and references… If a manuscript revision is suggested, it should be specific to particular paragraphs or sentences.
