Dear All,

I encourage the graduate students to sign up for this. This is a good experience to be familiar with the academic reviewing process.

Best Regards, Ishtiaque

Interested in helping make the COMPASS program more vibrant, dynamic, and exciting? You should sign up to help review posters and demo submissions!

TLDR: sign up here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmtL_bVrrhC_Rr2-AZrHfmUqJ9Udy_mMl_...

The posters/demos track submissions are short papers covering preliminary projects, interactive demos, or late-breaking results across all of the COMPASS key focal tracks. As a reviewer you would be responsible for checking the high-level validity and completeness of submissions while providing a brief review, but would not need to write as thorough a review as would be expected for a full paper. During the actual conference the posters and demos presenters will have an opportunity to talk directly with the conference attendees and get additional feedback.

If you’re interested and willing to help, please fill this brief form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmtL_bVrrhC_Rr2-AZrHfmUqJ9Udy_mMl_... (same as above) to collect your name, preferred contact email, and the tracks you would be comfortable reviewing!

Reviews will happen the week of Saturday May 29th -> Friday June 5th, and again should be relatively lightweight on the part of the reviewers!

Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you in advance for your support!

With Gratitude,

-Matt Johnson
