| {`conflicts of interest will be managed across activities related to the | ||
| SIG. For the ASSETS conference, the following protocol has been | ||
| established to comply with this policy: If the General Chair or | ||
| Program Chair wishes to submit a Technical Paper (as either a sole or | ||
| co-author) to the conference, then a Deputy Program Chair must be | ||
| appointed. The Deputy Chair’s role is to appoint reviewers to these | ||
| submissions using the regular conference mechanism, and appoint a | ||
| third party, whose identity is unknown to the submitting author, to | ||
| oversee the decision for that submission. This anonymity will enable | ||
| an independent decision to be made about the paper.`} | ||
| </p> | ||
| <p> | ||
| {`This anonymous third party will determine an overall score or ranking | ||
| for the submission. To preserve the anonymity of the third party and | ||
| reviewers, the decision process for such submissions will be conducted | ||
| “offline” from the regular website if necessary. After the Program | ||
| Chair has made initial accept/reject determinations for the other | ||
| papers, if the Deputy Chair determines that the submitted paper from | ||
| the General Chair or Program Chair is not a clear accept or reject, | ||
| then the third party will also be responsible for the final | ||
| accept/reject decision on this paper.`} | ||
| </p> | ||
| <p> | ||
| {`A similar process can be employed by the chair of other conference | ||
| activities (such as Posters and Demonstrations), if they wish to | ||
| submit a paper to that activity. All other members of conference | ||
| committees may submit to all activities. Care must be taken that these | ||
| submissions are reviewed at least as stringently as other submissions, | ||
| in keeping with the `} | ||
