TLDR: Nominate students, postdocs, and researchers for the POPL 2027 Artifact Evaluation Committee by Monday, September 7, 2026 at the following link:
Please forward to your own students and institutions!
—
For the thirteenth year, POPL (https://popl27.sigplan.org/) is establishing an Artifact Evaluation Committee (AEC) to promote repeatable experiments in the POPL community. Last year, we received 49 submitted artefacts, resulting in 2-3 artifacts assigned to each reviewer.
We are proud to announce an open call for nominations of senior graduate students, postdocs, or research community members to serve on the POPL 2027 AEC. We also encourage self-nominations. Participants will gain insight into the value of artifacts in academic publications, and a deeper understanding of the evaluation process – all while helping the community to establish and maintain norms for artifact evaluation.
We strongly encourage graduate students to serve on the AEC – the artifacts provided use a wide range of systems and languages, and graduate students can be particularly well equipped to handle the diversity. Furthermore, the insight and suggestions from upcoming researchers is invaluable to improving the artifact evaluation process.
The work of the AEC will be done approximately between the middle of October and the middle of November (roughly four weeks), so we are looking for people who are available during that time.
Please fill out this nomination form for each nominee by Monday, September 7, 2026:
We look forward to your nominations! Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your help!
