icalp-author-response

Use when writing an ICALP (EATCS) Track B rebuttal in response to initial reviews, or when handling a Track A correctness query — correcting reviewer misreadings of a proof, pointing to the exact lemma or step that answers an objection, conceding real gaps honestly, and staying within the lightweight double-blind rules and the short rebuttal window.

# ICALP Author Response

Two very different situations live here, because the tracks differ:

- **Track B** gives you a **rebuttal window** (ICALP 2026: 21-24 March) to respond to initial reviews.
- **Track A** has **no general rebuttal**; authors are contacted **only** if the PC needs to resolve a
  **correctness issue**. If that happens, answer narrowly and precisely.

There is **no revision round** at ICALP (unlike a journal), so the response is your one and only chance
to speak — and it can only move a paper by fixing **misreadings and correctness doubts**, never by
arguing taste.
