• After the review, the authors are informed of the results and invited to revise the paper as recommended by the reviewer, if necessary.
• In the authors‘ revision, it is necessary to complete the change note template outlining the changes made to the paper.
• After the authors‘ revision, or without the need for revision, the paper is accepted for the conference and publication in the conference proceedings.
