Artifact Evaluation

After last year's success, SysTEX'26 again includes an optional artifact evaluation phase for accepted papers, inspired by similar efforts in the security and systems communities.

Information will be available soon.

Submission Instructions

To be published soon.

Badges

We will aim to have badges of increasing levels, similar to ACM and USENIX:

  1. Artifacts Available: When the AEC could verify that the artifacts were made available permanently and publicly via a stable URL. Any public hosting website is allowed, but not a personal webpage. When using a git repository (e.g., GitHub), a commit hash or tag is required for a stable URL. To earn this badge, no further requirements on documentation, completeness, or functionality are needed.
    Artifact Evaluated: Available
  2. Artifacts Functional: When the AEC deems the artifact to be (i) complete (i.e., all key components described in the paper are included); (ii) reasonably well-documented; and (iii) exercisable (e.g., building of the software could be verified).
    Artifact Evaluated: Functional
  3. Artifacts Reusable: When the quality of the artifact significantly exceeds minimal functionality, e.g., the code can be ran and at least some results could be reproduced.
    Artifact Evaluated: Reusable

Note: As this is a young initiative, and to keep the reviewing load manageable, verifying full reproducibility as per ACM's strict definition is put explicitly out of scope this year. The "Artifacts Reusable" badge is intended to recognize those artifacts that go significantly beyond minimal expectations.
