Policies worth checking twice

  • Artifact evaluation is single-blind; artifacts must not be anonymous.
  • Artifact submission is optional but strongly encouraged and considered during paper review.
  • Accepted artifacts may receive ACM badges: Available (publicly accessible via DOI), Functional (successfully evaluated), or Reusable (high-quality and well-documented).
  • Distinguished Paper status is awarded to selected papers based on review and evaluation.
