Artifact Evaluation

A scientific paper consists of a constellation of artifacts that extend beyond the document itself: software, hardware, evaluation data and documentation, raw survey results, mechanized proofs, models, test suites, benchmarks, and so on. In some cases, the quality of these artifacts is as important as that of the paper itself. To emphasize the importance of such artifacts, the benefits to the authors and the community as a whole, and to promote the availability and reproducibility of experimental results, VehicleSec ‘26 runs an Artifact Evaluation. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to submit their artifacts for availability, functionality, and reproducibility assessments. The Artifact Evaluation Committee (AEC) will review each submitted artifact and also grant the Distinguished Artifact Award to outstanding artifacts accepted to VehicleSec ‘26.

This site is set up to provide relevant information to authors and artifact evaluators about the artifact evaluation process. After the artifact evaluation, this website will document the evaluation results.

All major updates to the site content will be noted in the Change Log.
