ATC Paper Related Work & Positioning
Structures and audits related-work sections for ACM SIGOPS ATC systems papers with delta-first positioning and double-blind compliance.
The ATC Related Work skill guides systems researchers and engineers in crafting rigorous, reviewer-proof related-work sections for ACM SIGOPS ATC (formerly USENIX ATC) submissions. It ensures comprehensive literature coverage across direct predecessors, alternative architectures, adjacent subareas (such as storage, networking, and virtualization), and empirical measurement studies. By enforcing delta-first technical comparisons tied directly to experimental baselines, maintaining sibling-venue awareness (OSDI, SOSP, NSDI, FAST, EuroSys), and auditing self-citations for double-blind anonymity, this skill helps eliminate common reviewer objections before submission.
