SIGCOMM Artifact Evaluation

Packages networking research code, topologies, and traces to satisfy ACM SIGCOMM reproducibility and artifact evaluation badges.

This skill guides networking researchers through the post-acceptance ACM SIGCOMM Artifact Evaluation Committee (AEC) process. It helps calibrate badge selection across Artifacts Available, Functional, and Results Reproduced while bridging the gap between large-scale testbed experiments and reviewer-reproducible artifacts. By standardizing directory structures, designing 5-minute smoke tests, setting up downscaled Mininet topologies, substituting proprietary network traces, and pinning precise environment dependencies, this skill ensures your networking paper artifacts pass AEC review seamlessly.

Key Features

01Evaluates and calibrates targets across ACM reproducibility badges
02Plans downscaled network topologies (e.g., Mininet) mapped to full-scale paper results
031,090 GitHub stars
04Designs 5-minute smoke test paths to generate immediate validation figures
05Structures standardized artifact directories and environment configuration files
06Provides strategies for compliant, synthetic, or public network trace substitutions

Use Cases

01Packaging accepted ACM SIGCOMM papers for formal Artifact Evaluation Committee submission
02Replacing proprietary or sensitive networking traffic traces with synthetic, statistically equivalent benchmarks
03Creating Mininet-based downscaled replications of complex multi-rack or testbed networking experiments
