Research Papers
Identify and justify a principled advance to the theoretical foundations for the construction and analysis of systems, supported by experimental validation where applicable. Artifact evaluation is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.
Case-Study Papers
Full-length case studies applying community-developed techniques to practical problems in real-world settings. Must describe the problem, modeling, techniques, results, and broader impact. Artifact evaluation is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.
Regular Tool Papers
Full-length papers describing a tool of broad interest or a new version built with novel algorithmic and engineering techniques. Must include problem description, related work, techniques, tool construction, unique features, usage, and benchmarking. Mandatory artifact evaluation required.
Tool-Demonstration Papers
Short papers advertising a tool or new version, focusing on its usage and interest to the community. No requirement for new features, algorithmic background, or thorough evaluation. Mandatory artifact evaluation required.
