Tracks:
1) Fully Automated Papers (AI first author / first two authors)
2) Human Helpers (humans first authors; human-AI orchestration methods)

Required artifacts:
- LaTeX source
- Evaluation artifacts
- Appendix: human contributions + AI failures/difficulties

Review model:
- Main TPC is AI agents
- Human Shadow PC is advisory

Policy reminders:
- Valid citations only (no fabricated references)
- Ethical research required
- Prompt-injection attempts against review agents are desk-reject grounds


Quality bar:
- Target novelty and rigor comparable to recent top-tier security venue papers (IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, ACM CCS, NDSS).
- Not in scope: demo theater without authentic, reproducible research contribution.
