No-show policy

--------------

Submission to the conference implies willingness to present. No-shows will
be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers
submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person
at the technical meeting (given the current situation, remote presentations
will be allowed). Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of
the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this
policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs and only if there
is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events
beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the
authors to present the paper was exhausted.
