                R3---Repeatability, Reproducibility and Rigor
                             Jan Vitek
                         Purdue University

Computer systems research spans sub-disciplines that include embedded
systems, programming languages, networking, and operating systems. In this
talk my contention is that a number of structural factors inhibit quality
systems research. Symptoms of the problem include unrepeatable and
unreproduced results as well as results that are either devoid of meaning
or that measure the wrong thing. I will illustrate the impact of these
issues on our research output with examples from the development and
empirical evaluation of the Schism real-time garbage collection algorithm.
Solutions that focus on fostering repeatability are being adopted by a
number of ACM conference under the name of Artifact Evaluation Committees
or AECs. These AECs provide positive feedback to authors that take the time
to create repeatable research.
