NSDI Artifact Evaluation
Prepares and packages accepted NSDI paper artifacts for AEC badge evaluation and Community Award eligibility.
Designed for systems researchers with accepted NSDI papers, this skill guides authors through the full Artifact Evaluation Committee (AEC) preparation workflow. It provides structured guidance on badge selection (Artifacts Available, Functional, and Results Reproduced), testbed configuration via CloudLab or containers, handling stochastic networking variance, and trace sanitization. By following dry-run evaluation protocols and timing public releases to meet camera-ready deadlines, researchers can maximize reproducibility scores and retain eligibility for the prestigious NSDI Community Award.
Key Features
