Message from the technical program chairs

Abstract

We were able to put together an excellent technical program for ICNP 2013, thanks to the joint efforts by our authors, TPC members, and technical area leads. We received 251 submissions to the main conference this year, the highest number in ICNP's 21-year history. Each paper received at least three reviews, and the 66 technical program committee members produced 765 paper reviews. The 11 area chairs ensured review quality and consistency between reviewers. The final papers for the main conference were selected during a TPC meeting in July. To accommodate for the larger number of submissions, we decided to shorten paper presentations slightly. Overall, 46 papers were accepted for presentation at the conference, which corresponds to an acceptance rate of 18.3%.
