Yes. The conference has no preference or limitation for authors’ location. You are welcome to submit your paper.
If there is no travel restriction, you need to travel to attend the conference in person. Otherwise, you can participate in the conference online.
The system will take a single-blind review process.
Yes. You can submit the paper, which is publicly available on arXiv or another workshop.
Yes, you can submit the 12-page paper with an additional 4-page appendix. The 12-page paper should be self-contained that the reviewer can make a judgement without reading the appendix. The appendix could be used for assisting the reviewer to gain a better understanding of your paper, but it is not compulsory. Moreover, the final camera-ready version should be reduced to 12 pages that is consistent with the format requirements of conference proceedings. If you still want to share your full-length paper to the public, I would suggest you upload your full-length version onto arXiv.
Each paper should be linked to one full registration (for in-person participation) or one full registration with online-only (for online participation). Each full registration can only be applied to cover one paper. At this stage, the conference will keep going on as a hybrid model. Thus, the oral/poster presenter in the Australasian area could choose the ticket for in-person participation.
The conference organising committee is voluntary work for this not-for-profit academic event. There is no budget to hire a professional financial staff or service staff to process the refund-related matters. In particular, most the registration fee is paid from the student’s personal account and then is reimbursed by the research institution’s project funds. It will make the refunding procedure become very complex. In addition, all received registration fees will be put into a funds pool to be applied for various supporting activities, such as inviting keynotes, pay venue hires, and purchase accounts for online services. It is impossible to calculate the remainders for each registration.
Australian government already published a re-opening plan for gradually open the restriction and border, thus organising physical event in February 2022 seems possible. However, it is also uncertain whether the government will change the restriction rules during this period. If the conference cannot be implemented as planned, the in-person registration is non-refundable. The conference organising committee will publish another plan to use the saved cost.
According to the current information, it is very likely the conference venue will follow the social distance rules and other public gathering related restrictions. Therefore, the venue provider will have a limited number of in-person participants. It is possible that the in-person participation ticket will be sold out.
If you have an ORAL presentation paper, you still need to present the paper on the conference days. If you have a POSTER presentation paper, you don’t need to present the paper on the conference days.
When you record the video, you should present it on slides rather than the one-page poster.
YES. In addition to presenting the paper, you still need to attend the poster session and networking (as shown in the program page) in the gather.town. The poster session is for free chatting and networking purposes. In oral presentation, the authors will only receive one or two questions, and then they can participate in the poster session to receive more questions, discussion and feedback in the poster session.
In the poster room on the gather.town, the author of the paper is staying with her/his own poster in a small square area. Once other visitors come into this square, they will see each other and to automatically set-up an online meeting in the gather.town. In this online-meeting, they can freely chat about the paper.
YES. The best practice is that you can invite a co-author to host the poster for a while, and then you can freely visit other posters. If you are the only author to participate in the poster session, if your poster has no visitors for more than five minutes, then you can go to visit other posters.
The conference time is Sydney time zone. Please be aware of the time difference.
It’s up to your decision. If you are not comfortable showing your face on the video, you can just record the computer screen and your voice.
Both oral and poster papers are full-lenght (15 pages) regular papers to be published on the conference proceedings. The oral papers will be presented at the conference while the Poster papers won’t, however, both of them need to provide pre-recorded video for online access. Both oral and poster paper will be displayed as the poster session to receive more questions and feedback from other participants.
