Hi, I was able to get two people to submit UIMA talks. I've signed up as a "reviewer", but have never done this before, and am looking for some guidance, timelines, etc. So I have some basic questions. If these have been already answered somewhere, please post a pointer to the definitive site / email :-).
Are their any guidelines for reviewing these talks and calibrating the rating category (strongly reject <--> strongly accept)? and when are these due? I, of course, would like to see these talks at the conference, and know the presenters, and think they would give great talks, so my inclination is to mark these as strongly accept. There's also a proposed UIMA BoFs. I'd like to see this happen, and I'm planning to be there, so should I just mark this strongly accept? or if there is some limit, what are the guidelines for scoring BoFs? Besides the scoring / comments, what other procedures / processes do we need to participate in, leading up to the conference? -Marshall Schor
