Comments from Reviewers of Conference ICCAIE

I submitted a paper to a conference named ICCAIE, well, basically I didnt do much digging with what this conference about, I was just thinking of submitting a paper, then get a publication later. Writing a paper ain't easy, I spent about 2 days, some more weekends, I guess, to complete 4 pages paper. When I first read at it, "JOKE" pop out in my mind, but nothing much I can do, as I had 0 idea of what to write, and it dues very soon.

Ok, after submitting, the organizer actually extended the due date of submission, and then extended, and extened again...The original due date was 31/4/2010, and ended up, they extended until end of Jun. 

Well, I dont have much feeling with that decision, as long as I submitted, then who cares what happened next, I just wait for the notification, either being rejected or accepted. 

And finally, the date of notification been decided, 23/8/2010. And guess what, among all my friends, they all got the notifications, and the papers are accepted, but I am the only one, didnt receive any notification. I didnt feel good with this, it ruined my day actually. 

I email them after 2 days, telling them that I didnt receive any notification, and guess what, no news neither. Not until the next day after I email them, I got the notification at last, and result: REJECTED.

I was sad, being honest, and shame, as I was the only person got rejected in my faculty,GOSH! 

Here are the comments given, i like one of the comments, it was a high compliment, hahaha...

- Poor presentation and usage of language
- Original work consists of 2.5 columns out of a total of 8 columns in the manuscript, and the proposal framework for WSD process is a paper design, with no implementation yet
- Some examples of how the system works would help improve the paper
- Need experimental results and comparison to Stevenson and Wilks' work would substantiate this proposal's validity and benefits

The weaknesses of this paper are given as follows.
The description of proposed framework is not perspicuous and intelligible.
The organization of this paper is lacking of experiment result and discussion.
Poor writing skill and word exposition used in the scientific paper.

The paper is well-written. It contains a related work section that introduce the work in the field, helping a lot the reader to catch up with the topic. In addition, the proposed approach is well defined and quite interesting.
However, the reviewer would like to see more examples regading Figures 2 and 3. In addition, it is strongly recommended to use passive voice (e.g. avoid expresssions "I will propose", "I obtain", using instead "it is proposed", "is obtained" etc.).

The paper is suitable for a conference presentation. Please see the above comments.

Guess what, I am actually kind of agree with the comments given. My paper, some how very confusing, is it a review paper, discussing about the topic, or it proposed something new to the industrial? I combined both, and giving a wrong name as well. As by reading the name of my paper, people might expect something new to be proposed, and at the mean time, my proposed algorithm, it was so weak, and general.

Anyway, this is the second papers that i got rejected from the conferences. A lot of hard work required next.
