<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2">For
the first time in FG, we are introducing Late-Breaking
Papers category this year. The goal of the LBP venue is to
provide a way for researchers to share new and preliminary
results at the conference and to get constructive feedback
from the community, as well as initiate new
collaborations. Accepted submissions will be presented in
a poster session at the conference, but the submissions
will not be published in the FG Proceedings. </font></font></font></p>

Papers </font></font></font><font face="inherit, serif"><font
size="2"><font color="#000000">(LBP)</font></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"> submissions
represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and
current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may
not have been fully validated yet, cutting edge or
emerging work that is still in exploratory stages,
smaller-scale studies, or in general, work that has not
yet reached a level of maturity expected for the
full-length main track papers. However, LBP papers are
still expected to bring a contribution to the FG
community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and
quasi-informal nature of this track.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#00337b"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"><strong>Why
submit to the Late-Breaking Papers track at FG?</strong></font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2">Accepted
LBP papers will be presented as posters during the
conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers
to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential
collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting
thought-provoking discussions about their work in an
informal setting that is significantly less constrained
than a paper presentation. The LBP posters track also
offers those new to the FG community a chance to share
their preliminary research as they become familiar with
this field.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2">Late-Breaking
Papers are not published with the FG Proceedings, but the
authors are encouraged to make these papers available on
their webpages, or on repositories such as ArXiV. In this
way, copyright is retained by the authors, and the
material from these papers can be used as the basis for
future publications as long as there are “significant”
revisions from the original.</font></font></font></p>

Abstract: </strong></font></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2">Submissions
follow FG 2020 submission guidelines for short paper
submissions, and are properly anonymized, four-page
papers, not including references. The paper should be
submitted in PDF format and through the FG submission
system in the "Late-Breaking Papers" track. </font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"><strong>Anonymization:</strong></font></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"> Authors
are instructed not to include author information in their
submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation
of the LBP to prior work, authors should not remove or
anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, we
recommend that authors obscure references to their own
prior work by referring to it in the third person during
submission. </font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#00337b"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"><strong>Review
Process</strong></font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2">LBPs
will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting
work still in progress, rather than complete work which is
under-described in order to fit into the LBP format. The
LBP track will undergo a peer review process. Submissions
will be evaluated by a number of factors including </font></font></font><font
face="inherit, serif"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">(1)</font></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"> the

face="inherit, serif"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">(2)</font></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"> the

face="inherit, serif"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">(3)</font></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"> the
degree to which it “fits” the LBP track. </font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#00337b"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2"><strong>Attendence</strong></font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, serif"><font size="2">At
least one author of all accepted LBP submissions must
register for and attend the conference, including the
conference poster session.</font></font></font></p>
