SysTEX '26

Artifacts & Results

All artifacts and badges will be made available online by the time of the workshop.

Important dates

All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE = UTC-12h).

Artifact Evaluation

Research papers often produce datasets and code, which can constitute a significant contribution of the work. Artifact evaluation aims to ensure and reward the quality of this effort. 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.

Submission Instructions

Authors of accepted paper who wish to take part in artifact evaluation should register their artifact by the deadline of March 23rd, 2026 (23:59 AoE) on https://systex26ae.hotcrp.com/. Note that only artifact that are associated with an accepted paper can be submitted!

Submissions should include:

1. the (non-anonymous) camera-ready PDF of the accepted paper;
2. a stable URL pointing to the public (non-anonymous) artifact;
3. whether you want to be evaluated for the "Functional" badges; evaluation for the "Available" badge always takes place.

Any documentation and building/running instructions should be self-contained in the artifact (e.g., via a README file). In case custom hardware (e.g., Intel SGX, ARM TrustZone, etc.) is required, this should be clearly documented in the artifact itself. Authors may choose to optionally provide remote access to an evaluation machine with the required hardware for the artifact reviewers. In this case, login information may be privately shared via HotCRP comments.

The evaluation will be single-blind, i.e., only the identity of the reviewers is hidden but the paper and artifact should not be anonymous.

Badges

Starting this year, SysTEX will follow the ACM badging system and reward "Artifact Available" and one of two "Artifact Functional" badges. For the detailed explanation of these badges, please check the ACM website.
