In computer architecture conferences, “expert”/”knowledgeable” reviewers often are conflicted intellectually with at least some of the submissions they review (e.g., the submissions directly … Read more

Lessons from Five Years of Artifact Evaluation at EuroSys

Reproducibility is a cornerstone of scientific progress, yet in systems research, it remains a persistent challenge. Over the past five years, the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process at the European Conference on Computer Systems (EuroSys) has aimed to address this challenge head-on. In this blog post, we reflect on what we have learned from organizing AE … Read more
