Indicating Your Attendance on EDAS
As a TPC member of INFOCOM 2016, you are strongly encouraged to attend the in-person TPC meeting in order to put together a high-quality technical program. We expect to have a more focused set of papers to be discussed at the TPC meeting with a higher acceptance probability (almost 30-40%), compared to the overall conference acceptance rate of about 18-20%. We expect to have groups discussing about 20-30 papers each, which will give an average of 15 minutes for each paper (Note: these numbers are tentative at this stage and we will know better by October 30, 2015).
Please make sure that you indicate your plan on whether you will be attending the TPC meeting on EDAS, using the link in the email message you received. (You can also log into EDAS, click on “My TPC” tab, and then click on the “TPC meeting” icon in the INFOCOM 2016 row.) Area Chairs are required to attend the meeting and to lead the discussions.
