Start a new calculation

Show suggestion for IPC is the automatical assignment process of SRMv2. As it is impractical by hand to assign hundreds of users to hundreds of paper the system tries to create a matching based on the available data.

At first the system shows a list of all IPC members with along with every review type which is currently assigned to the conference.

Show Suggestion for IPC by Submissions

When you press create New Suggestion you set the preferences for the new matching. In this example the setup means the system should use and calculate one Main reviewer and one Assigned Reviewer for every submission.

After the calculation is done (this might take some time for a large datapool) the suggestion looks like this. If the system outputs "Sequence contains no elements" it means, the assignment amount is too large or there are too few IPC members. See [calculate Suggestion] for further information.
