A rigorous, unprejudiced and efficient review process is the corner stone for a reputable conference. Each paper submitted to the conference will be evaluated by at least two experts. Detailed and constructive comments from reviewers often help authors remedy flaws of their work and improve paper quality. The final decision on whether a manuscript can be accepted, reviewed or rejected is made by the editor basically on the recommendation of reviewers. We are sincerely grateful to reviewers who devoted their time to paper review and other support as requested by the Organizing Committee.
