To provide authors the opportunity to participate in TheWebConf 2025 and present their work, we have facilitated that workshop will open Fast-track submissions for papers that were rejected from TheWebConf 2025 main track or short papers track.
The schedule is as follows:
Submission Window: January 20-26, 11:59 AOE
Workshop Notification: January 27, 11:59 AOE
Please note:
1. All papers submitted via Fast-track must add an Appendix below the References where authors should cut and paste the reviews from the main review process. Modifying reviewer comments is strictly prohibited, and the reviews should not be shared with any third parties. They will be only visible to the workshop organizers who are workshop meta-reviewers.
2. In the Appendix, authors should also include a section titled "Improvements", briefly describing whether they were able to address some of the issues raised in the main review and how they did so. Only light revisions are expected, and if the work is already in good shape, no revisions are required. Major changes are not allowed.
3. By default we assume accepted papers will be published in Companion proceedings but the authors of accepted workshop papers can communicate with workshop organisers if they wish to opt out from the Companion proceedings.
4. Submissions of papers ranging from 4 to 8 pages as main content, with up to 2 additional pages containing references. All submissions must be in PDF format and formatted according to the new ACM format published in ACM guidelines (e.g., using the ACM LaTeX template on Overleaf here) and selecting the “sigconf” sample.
5. Submitting authors should actively avoid conflict of interest, i.e., if you have a COI with workshop organizers of a given workshop participating in Fast-track, please choose a different workshop or venue as workshop organizers are also usually meta-reviewers for their workshops. Any misconduct will be investigated and can lead to penalties being imposed by ACM.
6. Authors of Fast-track submissions that will be accepted (at least one for a paper) agree to register papers to participate in the conference to present their works (as per general rules of the main-track call).
