complete paper and a blinded paper. The submission email
should contain the name, school, and contact information
of the student.
— In the blinded paper, the student’s name and affilia-
tion/school should not appear. Names for references should
not be included in the text (numbers for references should

student’s name or advisor/collaborator should be removed
and replaced with the text “reference removed.”

pages of double-spaced type with no more than five addi-
tional pages of appendices (20 pages maximum).
