An Experience Report on Artifact Evaluation in Brazilian Conferences

An artifact is a resource essential to the complete understanding of a scientific article, extending beyond the manuscript itself. As more conferences allow authors to submit artifacts alongside their articles, different review processes, badge types are emerging, and badge-acquisition requirements. In this paper, we describe the process for conducting artifact evaluation that has been implemented in the Brazilian community. Our discussion focuses on the two largest Brazilian networking and security venues, where we discuss the challenges we encountered during our interactions and the solutions we ultimately adopted to improve the review process.
