I want to submit my paper to NAS 2015 but I am confused about its double-blind review 盲审又包括单盲审（Single-Blind Peer Review, SBPR）和双盲审（Double-Blind Peer Review, DBPR）。双盲审是审者与作者之间互相都不知道彼此身份的匿名评审。在双盲审的过程中，中间组织者的规范和保密工作很重要。单盲审一般是审者知道作者的身份，而作者不知道审者是谁。 计算机有不少会议实行双盲评审。 Reference: http://emuch.net/html/201104/3022021.html
