This comprehensive guide assists researchers and practitioners in selecting the optimal venue and track (e.g., DAC, ICCAD, ISCA) for their electronic design automation (EDA) or chip-design project. It clarifies the critical distinction between the archival Research Manuscript track and the industry-facing Engineering Track at DAC, emphasizing the need to frame contributions using measurable Quality of Results (QoR) improvements, novel algorithms, or real-world industrial lessons.

This guide outlines rigorous standards for incorporating theoretical and quantitative models into economic policy manuscripts. It emphasizes that models must be minimal, transparent, and directly bear policy weight—converting estimates into statements about welfare, fiscal costs, or clear mechanisms. It teaches how to design models that pass 'the necessity test,' ensuring policymakers can trace headline numbers directly back to key, identifiable assumptions.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors targeting the high-level academic journal, *Finance and Trade Economics*. It helps users assess if their manuscript's scope, methodology, and core contribution align with the journal's specific focus areas (e.g., fiscal policy, budget governance, international trade). It outlines strict submission formats, common rejection pitfalls, and alternative journal suggestions, ensuring academic rigor and proper positioning.

This guide helps researchers determine the most appropriate conference venue (e.g., HPCA, ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS) for their microarchitecture or systems research paper. It outlines key criteria, such as whether the contribution is a measured microarchitectural cost, a buildable mechanism, or a measurable characterization, and how to strategically route the project based on its novelty and evidence.

A comprehensive guide for researchers determining if their cross-layer systems work belongs at ASPLOS or a specialized venue (e.g., ISCA, SOSP, PLDI). It introduces the crucial "deletion test," a routing table based on core claims (microarchitecture, language design, etc.), and criteria for identifying genuine cross-disciplinary intersections between OS, PL, and Architecture.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting computer architecture papers to ISCA. It details the scope fit, required evidence (simulation or hardware), effective framing strategies, and provides comparisons with similar top-tier venues (like MICRO, HPCA). It helps authors refine their manuscript to meet the rigorous standards of a flagship conference.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing camera-ready papers for the INTERSPEECH conference. It covers critical steps like de-anonymizing content, ensuring accurate metadata linking (DOI/ISCA Archive), meeting author registration requirements for proceedings inclusion, and planning oral or poster presentations.

A comprehensive guide for researchers on how to structure, package, and document complex scientific artifacts (e.g., simulation results, specialized code) to ensure reproducibility for academic reviewers. It details setting scope tiers (Reproduce, Regenerate, Inspect) and mitigating technical challenges like build fragility and runtime discrepancies.

A comprehensive guide for managing the high-stakes rebuttal and revision period after major academic conference submissions. It teaches authors how to strategically triage reviewer objections (factual errors, evidence gaps, design flaws) by their leverage, structure the written response for maximum committee impact, and perform surgical revisions without inadvertently restructuring the core paper.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous, multi-step process of converting an accepted, anonymized conference paper into its final, published 'camera-ready' format. It covers technical requirements such as de-anonymizing author details, restoring artifact links, updating metadata, managing publisher-specific workflows (ACM/IEEE), and preparing for conference talks and publicity.

This guide provides rigorous guidelines for structuring and validating experimental results in computer architecture papers. It covers essential aspects like declaring simulation methodology contracts, ensuring result reproducibility through manifest files, selecting representative workloads, and performing detailed attribution and sensitivity analyses to distinguish true architectural gains from modeling artifacts.

A comprehensive guide for positioning highly technical research in top-tier academic venues like ISCA. It instructs authors on deep literature surveying across multiple databases (ACM, IEEE, dblp, arXiv), structuring the 'related work' section using structural differentiation (mechanism delta), and adhering to double-blind review guidelines. Essential for advanced technical paper writing.
