We consider papers as work in progress and encourage authors to publish an improved version of the paper in a journal or at another venue at a later time.</span></span></span></p><h3 id="review-process" style="margin: 12px 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Review Process</span></span></span></h3><p style="margin: 0px 0px 9px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Paper submissions will be managed by the Program Chairs and sent to external reviewers to evaluate the work’s novelty and significance. You have the option to have your work reviewed via a double-blind process; to do this, simply be sure to exclude all identifying information in the submitted manuscript file, ensuring that the reviewers will not know the identify of the authors. Otherwise, the review process will be single-blind, i.e., the reviewers will know the identity of the authors, but the authors will not know the identity of the reviewers.</span></span></span></p><h3 id="submission-and-formatting-guidelines" style="margin: 12px 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Submission and Formatting Guidelines</span></span></span></h3><p style="margin: 0px 0px 9px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Please format your submission according to the</span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://junctionpublishing.org/vgtc/Tasks/camera.html" style="color: rgb(204, 124, 0); text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">VGTC formatting guidelines</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 9px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To submit a paper please use the </span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="https://precisionconference.com/~vds15/" style="color: rgb(204, 124, 0); text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Precision Conference System</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">.
