Position Papers
Position papers are an important part of your pre-conference research. They showcase your research skills, represent your ideas on paper, and demonstrate how well you have prepared for the conference. They are also the first impression that chairs will get of you, so put in your best efforts while researching and writing this paper. The general AI policy of SBMUNX applies to position papers.
