Reviewing process
Papers submitted for review must clearly state:

The degree to which the paper addresses these criteria will affect the selection process. The most common reason for rejection is the lack of new results. Only work not previously published will be considered.
Submission of a paper for review and subsequent acceptance implies the authors agree that the work will not be made public before the conference.
