[Maprg] advertising events on maprg list (was "CFP - ACM Reproducibility 2017 (ACM SIGCOMM Workshop)")

[Dave Plonka <[e-mail]>]

Hi MAPRG folks (and Luigi :) ),

While we all might support some CfP postings on this list, we want to
ensure that the respective event is in scope and specifically relevant
for maprg.

If you would like to share a CfP to maprg participants, send it to us
<[e-mail]> with an explanation how this is related to
work in maprg. Please consider this policy for further postings.

Thanks!
Mirja and Dave

1st ACM Workshop on Research Reproducibility
In conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2017, Los Angeles, USA
August 21, 2017

http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2017/workshop-reproducibility.html



** CALL FOR PAPERS **

Ensuring the reproducibility of results is essential in experimental
sciences. Unfortunately,
as highlighted recently, a large proportion of research results are
hardly, if not at all,
reproducible, raising reasonable doubts on the research lead by
scientists around the
world.

To address this important issue, the ACM has introduced a new policy
on result and artifact
review and badging. The policy defines clearly the terminology to be
used to assess
results and artifacts but does not specify the review process.

The goal of the workshop is to craft recommendations on research
results and artifacts
review process for conferences and journals of the SIGCOMM interest
group. To achieve
this goal, the workshop is structured as a forum where presenters will
discuss with
attendees their experience in reviewing research results and artifacts.

To prepare the discussion authors are requested to submit discussions
around papers
published in the various ACM conference in 2016/2017, with
experimental results and
artifacts. Submitted papers to the workshop will provide an extended
abstract with either
feedback on the actual review of papers in these conferences or
proposals of methods
to review papers, from a results and artifact perspective. To emulate
discussions before
but also after the workshop, an open virtual forum is set in place to
exchange ideas
and experiences: http://reproducibility.lisp-lab.org

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

– Reviewing experience;
– Enabling environments and tools for reproducibility;
– Methods and tools to anonymize datasets;
– Testbeds for reproducible research;
– Platforms to share experimental results and artifacts.

The workshop will try to answer questions rose by the ACM such as:

– Should reviews occur before or after acceptance of a paper?
– How many reviewers should there be?
– Should the reviewers be anonymous, or should they be allowed to
interact openly with the authors?
– How should artifacts be packaged for review?
– What specific metrics should be used to assess quality?

Submissions must be original unpublished work. Submitted papers must
be at most three (3) pages
long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in
two-column 10pt ACM format.
Papers must include authors names and affiliations for peer reviewing
by the PC. Authors are
 invited to follow the terminology defined by the ACM Result and
Artifact Review and Badging
publication policy
(https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging).
Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.
The outcomes of the
workshop will be published in ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR).

To guarantee freedom to attend to everyone, remote attendance will be
possible for the workshop.
