o   New this year: If you are submitting a revised version of a submission to IJCAI2016, you can upload the IJCAI reviews of their papers and a response letter explaining changes in the revised submitted version, for consideration during the ECAI reviewing process. This innovation is intended to reduce the "lottery" effect which can happen when revised versions are reviewed by a new team of reviewers.
