2015Q3 Reports: Publications Chairs

From Admin Wiki

Summary

The publication chairs produced the proceedings of the main conference (two volumes, for long and short papers) and coordinated the work of the 18 book chairs for the individual workshops.

This process went reasonably smoothly. We innovated over earlier years by producing machine-readable proceedings in an XML format, and by imposing a stricter paper testing regime on the upload of camera-ready papers.


Changes from previous years

Problems

  • Including images (and any additional files) in proceedings volumes (e.g. sponsor logos, or a logo for the cover page) is tricky and not well documented. This should be simplified in the START system.
  • The method to obtain identifiers of proceedings from ACL anthology master (Min-Yen Kan) is not well documented. This should be given in the future.
