Q 10. What is the importance of the CFP deadline?

To have maximum benefit to our membership, and for the benefit of the conference, ComSoc requires that applications be submitted at least 3 months prior to the CFP deadline, so that if approval is granted, there will be sufficient time to announce the TCS of ComSoc to prospective authors, and to include the conference in ComSoc’s listings in time for our membership to be able to submit papers to the newly approved conference. We understand that CFP deadlines are sometimes delayed, and ask to be notified when this happens, to update the review information, and, if appropriate, the listing information on an approved conference.
