Hi folks, question: Have you ever been in the situation where a conference doesn't notify you of whether your research was accepted by the advertised notification date?

The date was supposed to be about a week ago and I haven't heard anything. Not sure if I should email them or give it some more time. I've never heard of that happening before so I'm not sure what the established protocol is. This is for a well established CS conference.

@DIMMSum Yes, though in my case they accepted one contribution and forgot about the other, so I knew that decisions were made and sent out.

If they do not write anything on their website, I would send them a mail. Either they forgot you or they are drowning in mails already.

Thanks for the advice

@DIMMSum I was referring to the possibility that they announced a delay of the decisions on their website. If the website still says “decisions will be sent [yesterday]”, I would write a mail.
