Dear students, acceptance rate is high for this conference if your
paper is relevant to the conference themes, I encourage you to submit!
This is where I met
Beste Can who was one of the main organizers of WAFL 2, so feel free to
ask her about what a great conference it is. I have been asked to
encourage
submissions from this years' organizers.
