This guide provides comprehensive strategies for drafting and revising highly technical academic papers for top-tier conferences like ASPLOS. It focuses on structuring the core argument around cross-layer insights, ensuring claims are quantifiable and bounded, and optimizing the entire manuscript to survive rapid peer review and strict page limitations.

This guide details the rigorous process for packaging research artifacts for submission to major conferences like USENIX ATC. It outlines the requirements for earning three key badges—Artifacts Available, Functional, and Reproduced—ensuring that submitted work is reproducible, functional, and permanently archived according to industry best practices.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards for evaluating systems research, particularly for top-tier conferences like ATC. It provides detailed instructions on designing reproducible experiments, establishing fair baselines, utilizing realistic workloads, and reporting critical metrics such as tail latency, variance, and resource cost, ensuring the highest level of scientific rigor.

A comprehensive guide for authors writing related work sections for top-tier systems conferences (e.g., ATC). It teaches how to accurately position a new system relative to existing literature, emphasizing delta-first comparisons, covering adjacent subareas, and adhering to strict double-blind citation protocols. Essential for academic rigor in systems research.

A comprehensive guide for authors developing systems papers for major conferences (like ATC). It details how to build a reproducible story by pinning all environments (hardware, OS, toolchain, workload, code), providing turnkey one-command execution paths, and preparing a runnable, anonymized artifact package for academic review and evaluation.

A comprehensive guide detailing the rigorous two-round, double-blind review process for submissions to the ACM SIGOPS ATC. It outlines the strategic importance of the extended abstract, the role of the shepherd, and how the process differs from other top-tier systems conferences like OSDI and SOSP. Essential reading for authors aiming to publish high-quality systems research.

This comprehensive guide provides an audit checklist for authors preparing submissions for major technical conferences like ATC/SIGOPS. It details critical requirements, including formatting for the paired extended abstract and full paper, adherence to strict page budgets, and essential steps for maintaining double-blind anonymity. Use this checklist before final submission to avoid common pitfalls and ensure readiness for the review process.

A comprehensive guide for researchers to determine the optimal venue for their computer systems paper. It teaches the critical differences between broad, practical conferences (like ATC) and selective, specialized venues (like OSDI, SOSP, or NSDI). The guide helps authors assess whether their work is novel, useful, focused on deployed experience, or requires specific networking/storage expertise.

A comprehensive guide detailing the end-to-end workflow for submitting research papers to top-tier academic conferences, such as the ACM SIGOPS ATC. It provides a backward planning structure, covering critical stages from initial system freezing and extended abstract writing, through multi-round peer review, rebuttal preparation, artifact evaluation, and final camera-ready submission.

This guide details the specific structure and rigor required for writing systems papers for top-tier academic conferences like ATC. It emphasizes the need for a self-standing, two-page abstract (Round One) and a full-paper narrative that is purely implementation and measurement driven. Key principles include quantifying costs alongside gains, structuring the narrative from problem to impact, and rigorously supporting claims with real-world evidence.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC). This skill helps assess whether a computer vision manuscript fits the venue, providing expert advice on framing, necessary evidence gaps, structural improvements, and differentiating the work from related CV conferences (e.g., CVPR, ICCV). It ensures the contribution is clear and highly specialized for specialist reviewers.

This guide details the process of packaging and evaluating academic artifacts for ACM CCS conferences. It outlines the criteria for earning specific ACM badges (e.g., Functional, Reusable, Results Reproduced) by ensuring that supporting evidence—such as exploits, defenses, and measurement pipelines—is turnkey, reproducible, and rigorously documented for the review committee. It covers best practices for artifact planning, handling sensitive material, and justifying any withheld components.
