Artifact Evaluation

PoPETs reviews and publishes digital artifacts related to its accepted papers. This process aids in the reproducibility of results and allows others to build on the work described in the papers. Artifact submissions are requested from authors of all accepted papers, and although they are optional, we strongly encourage you to submit your artifacts for review.

Possible artifacts include (but are not limited to):

• Source code (e.g., system implementations, proof of concepts)
• Datasets (e.g., network traces, raw study data)
• Scripts for data processing or simulations
• Machine-generated proofs
• Formal specifications
• Build environments (e.g., VMs, Docker containers, configuration scripts)

Artifacts are evaluated by the artifact review committee. The committee evaluates the artifacts to ensure that they provide an acceptable level of utility. Issues considered include software bugs, readability of the documentation, appropriate licensing, and the reproducibility of the results presented in the paper. After your artifact has been approved by the committee, we will accompany the paper link on petsymposium.org with a link to the artifact along with the obtained artifact badges so that interested readers can find and use your hard work.
