By the submission deadline, authors have to have submitted their paper, which includes providing information about each author and uploading the paper. This is useful to TPMS to assign relevant reviewers to papers. As soon as the paper is uploaded in OpenReview, anybody will be able to read and comment on papers. Anytime after submission, authors can revise their paper as many times as needed, it could be to add better results, or in response to comments, etc.
Authors are strongly encouraged not to wait until the deadline to submit their paper.

Once paper-reviewer assignments are completed (shortly after the deadline), reviewers will download the latest version available (although anybody can read any previous version too).
Reviewers and Area Chairs will receive automatic notifications whenever a new revision is uploaded.

• Reviewers cannot currently re-submit reviews, even if they trash their existing review. They can edit already submitted reviews, but they cannot submit an entirely new review. At present, there is no “save as a draft” option for reviews. Reviewers should never trash their review but only edit them.

• Each poster panel is 2 meters large and 1 meter tall. If needed, tapes will be provided to fix your poster.

• Conference Posters will be located at Floor 1.
• Workshop Posters will be located at Floor 3.

• Very few people answered to the inquiry about a shuttle to Hyères, so we decided not to hire private buses for the transfers. The train and bus tables are given with the list of hotels in the Toulon page.

The instructions for the Group Photo can be found here.
