Use when reasoning about how an IEEE INFOCOM submission is evaluated, covering the large-scale double-blind pipeline, automated paper-reviewer assignment, the two-tier TPC and early-reject phase, the (traditional) absence of an author rebuttal, TPC discussion, and how INFOCOM's process differs from SIGCOMM/NSDI rebuttal-driven reviewing.

# INFOCOM Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. INFOCOM's process is **large-scale and
TPC-driven**: thousands of submissions are matched to a broad Technical Program Committee by an
**automated assignment system**, screened through an **early-reject** phase, and decided in TPC
discussion. The most consequential mental shift for authors arriving from SIGCOMM/NSDI is that
INFOCOM has **traditionally offered no author rebuttal** — the submitted PDF must defend itself,
because you likely never get a turn to reply.

## Process model

- Submission and review run on **EDAS** with **double-blind** anonymity: identities are hidden from
  reviewers throughout.
- **Automated review assignment** matches each manuscript to TPC members by comparing the paper's
