For example, is it possible to compile the artifact, use a Makefile, or perform a small run? If the artifact runs on a large cluster\u2014can it be compiled on a single machine? Can analysis be run on a small scale? Does the artifact describe the components to nurture future use of this artifact?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reviewer will assess the details of the research artifact based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Documentation<\/strong>: Are the artifacts sufficiently documented to enable them to be exercised by readers of the paper?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Completeness:<\/strong>&nbsp;Do the submitted artifacts include all of the key components described in the paper?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exercisability:<\/strong>&nbsp;Do the submitted artifacts include the scripts and data needed to run the experiments described in the paper, and can the software be successfully executed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We encourage authors to describe their (i) workflow underlying the paper, (ii) describing some of the black boxes, or a white box (e.g., source, configuration files, build environment), (iii) input data: either the process to generate the input data should be made available, or when the data is not generated, the actual data itself or a link to the data should be provided, (iv) environment (system configuration and initialization, scripts, workload, measurement protocol) used to produce the raw experimental data, and (v) the scripts needed to transform the raw data into the graphs included in the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Copyrights and releases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please submit your papers for any internal review required by your institution as soon as possible so you are ready to quickly submit copyright and video releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XLOOP is working with IEEE for publishing and indexing the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The submission to IEEE is handled by a separate submission system from the SC site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More instructions will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please submit novel papers of length 8 pages, including references, in IEEE Style via the\u00a0SC Linklings site.
