Peer review of research output stands as a cornerstone of quality control in scientific and scholarly publishing. In addition to articles appearing in journals—be they nonprofit or commercial—conference proceedings have become a prime venue for the dissemination of advances in many areas of the computer science discipline, and are often highly cited.3 Publishing books, journal articles, and/or conference papers is critical for advancing one's career in academia or in research laboratories.
