Policies worth checking twice
- Diamond open access: free to read and free to publish.
- No page limit, but authors are encouraged to be concise, with a compelling case in the first 12–14 pages.
- Double-blind review: authors must anonymize submissions and avoid identifying themselves or their institution.
- Open peer review: reviews are published alongside papers with reviewer names disclosed.
- One-shot revision model: authors receive a clear list of required changes; acceptance is guaranteed upon good-faith completion.
- Artifact evaluation is mandatory for Solution and Tools/Benchmark papers and proceeds in parallel with paper review.
- Submissions must not link to non-anonymized code repositories; use anonymized services like Anonymous GitHub.
- ArXiv preprints are allowed, but the JSys submission title and system name must differ from the ArXiv version.
