Hi Chenhao and Duo,<br>
<br>
I am forwarding our correspondence with TAPS Support regarding our HotStorage 2026 camera-ready submission.<br>
<br>
We uploaded all the required source files before the deadline, but there appears to be an issue with the automated conversion of the paper to XML and HTML, which is outside of our control. We reached out to TAPS Support, and they have confirmed that our paper
was successfully uploaded and that they are currently working to resolve the conversion error on their end.<br>
<br>
Please see the email thread below for the full details. </div>
<div style="direction:ltr">
Please let us know if any further action is required from us.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Arash Tavakkol<br>

We would like to update you that your paper was uploaded with us. Moreover, as TAPS auto-converts the paper source file to XML and HTML, your paper has some conversion errors, and we are working on it. So, there is no need for you to worry. We are looking into
this and will get back to you as soon as possible.</div>
