I don't know how to answer such a general question. It's a constraint toolkit. I used it to make constraints for layouts.

it is how it shows up in IRC; and yes, I recall the latter nickname but you didn't have it recently

if an els submission is accepted, is it possible to make changes to it until the 9th april?

selwynning: There is a period when you must modify your paper to comply with the referee remarks. During that period, you can make other changes as well, but you must obviously make sure that the referee reports are still valid.

selwynning: I just checked the dates, and yes, until April 9, you *must* make changes. Unless of course the referees had no remarks, which would be highly unlikely.

Unfortunately, ELS does not have a second referee round to determine whether the referee remarks were acted upon, either as modifications to the paper or as explanations to the referee(s) indicating why the remark was not acted upon.

Okay, so I basically want to create a wrapper around a condition which has a hard to understand name and error message. I also want to add restarts to it. How do I do this cleanly?

Should I create a condition and then handller-case the code and throw that condition, wrapping the handler-case with a restart-case?

selwynning: So I guess technically you could not act upon the remarks and there would be no documented way of rejecting your paper because of that.

When I see a referee remark that I consider unfounded, I take it as a sign that other readers might have the same remark, so I tend to add a phrase to the papers like "While it might seem appropriate to ..., we think this is not required because..."

Yes, nobody will object, unless you make substantial changes to the core of your paper.

whether i am invited to present or not will determine whether i can claim expenses back on my attendance

If your paper is accepted, there will be a presentation programmed for you in the conference program.

A slot for a talk is usually 30 minutes, of which 5-10 minutes are dedicated to questions. So you should plan for a 20 minute talk to make sure you don't run over, and to compensate for those other authors who did run over.

It is infuriating when a speaker does not stick to the time limit. It tells me that that speaker thinks of this presentation as being more important that those of other authors, so that it doesn't matter if those other authors are given less time.

you may always turn it around and if you want to infuriate beach then plan for 30minutes! ;)

Given that I hope to present on a stop-the-world (but parallel) garbage collector, it would be in character for me to go over a time limit.

maybe you can read the ROOM and schedule pauses when the listener process is sleeping
