Provides rigorous guidelines for conducting robust, verifiable, and reproducible evaluations in networking research. It emphasizes moving beyond simple simulations by demanding the use of real target platforms, documenting full system provenance (traces and configs), establishing honestly tuned baselines, and reporting detailed measurement statistics and uncertainty. Essential for authors aiming for top-tier conference submissions.

This guide addresses the stringent requirements for empirical evaluation in compiler and runtime systems, aligning with SIGPLAN's guidelines. It covers critical aspects such as proper warmup discipline, reporting variance and confidence intervals, selecting principled benchmarks, pinning toolchains, and ensuring cross-platform validity. It provides a protocol for generating verifiable measurement logs for academic publications.
