2019-04-11 Thread Bor-Yuh Evan Chang
ubmit your artifact:

- Make the VM image and the instruction document into single compressed
archive file using zip or gzip. Use your paper number for the name of the
archive file.
- Upload the archive file to well-known storage service such as Dropbox or
Google Drive and get the sharable link of it.
- Run a checksum function with the archive file and make a text file that
contains the link to the archive file and the checksum the result. Submit
the text file via the submission page. The submission form has a place for
the artifact submission.

LIGHTWEIGHT DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING PROCESS

SAS 2019 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Following
this process means that reviewers will not see the authors’ names or
affiliations as they initially review a paper. The authors’ names will then
be revealed to the reviewers only once their reviews have been submitted.

To facilitate this process, submitted papers must adhere to the following:

- Author names and institutions must be omitted and
- References to the authors’ own related work should be in the third person
(e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the
work of …”). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to
an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible
for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be
done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission, makes the job of
reviewing the paper more difficult, or interferes with the process of
disseminating new ideas. For example, important background references
should not be omitted or anonymized, even if they are written by the same
authors and share common ideas, techniques, or infrastructure. Authors
should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their
paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of
their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas.

AUTHOR RESPONSE PERIOD

During the author response period, authors will be able to read reviews and
respond to them as appropriate.

RADHIA COUSOT YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD

Since 2014, the program committee of each SAS conference selects a paper
for the Radhia Cousot Young Researcher Best Paper Award, in memory of

During the author response period, authors will be able to read
reviews and respond to them as appropriate.

## Research Integrity

The Program Committee reserves the right, up until the time of

excellence and we seek candidates that understand the benefits that
diversity brings to scientific innovation and who, through their work,
develop technologies that impact a wide range of communities. Our
department is also responsive to dual career situations.

Our vision of successful candidates are those who demonstrate the potential
for excellence in both research and teaching, have a strong interest in
interdisciplinary collaboration, and aim to lead a visible, externally
funded research program. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in computer science
or a related discipline and must show promise in their ability to develop
an independent and internationally recognized research program. They must
also display an ability, a record of excellence, and/or a commitment to
teaching and working with undergraduate and graduate students of diverse
backgrounds.

Applications will be evaluated beginning on November 9, 2015 with priority
given to applications received by December 7, 2015, although applications
will continue to be evaluated until the position is filled. Applications
must include a cover letter specifying the applicant's areas of
specialization and describing their interest in the Department of Computer
Science at CU Boulder. Applications must also include a curriculum vita,
statements of research and teaching interests, and names and contact
information for three references. In their statements, candidates should
describe and include specific examples of how their experience would
contribute to the department's mission and values, including, but not
limited to, their research record, pedagogical approaches, teaching
content, mentoring and recruiting activities, community engagement, and
experiences working with underrepresented communities.

The Department's research and education efforts interact broadly with many
interdisciplinary programs and collaborators in the Boulder area, including
national labs at NIST, NOAA, NREL, and NCAR, and CU Boulder research
institutes including the ATLAS Institute, the BioFrontiers Institute, and
the Institute for Cognitive Science. The Department has a long-standing
partnership with the National Center for Women and IT and has faculty
active in increasing the broadening of participation in computer science
