This guide provides expert principles for designing and auditing system-level experiments in computer architecture (e.g., for ASPLOS-level conferences). It details the proper usage of various instruments—from real silicon and FPGAs to cycle-level simulators and analytical models—ensuring that every claim is matched to a valid, stated error model. It emphasizes workload selection, establishing strong baselines, performing rigorous ablation studies, and honestly reporting measurement noise and limitations to maintain scientific credibility.

This comprehensive guide is designed to help authors assess the methodological and theoretical suitability of their manuscript for Transportation Research Part B. It emphasizes that the core contribution must be a generalizable method, model, or theorem (e.g., in traffic flow, network optimization, or choice modeling), rather than a simple applied case study. Use this tool for venue selection, manuscript re-framing, and ensuring rigorous analytical justification.
