Introduction

This template is intended to be used as a base when building a new artifact (e.g., tools, proofs, data) to accompany a published paper. It is heavily geared towards Computer Science (as that is my own field), but may be repurposed for other scientific domains.

The documentation is divided into the following sections:

• Motivation: the motivation behind this template;
• Portability: how to ensure that the artifact can work on different machines;
• Architecture: a high-level description of the architecture of the artifact template;
• A simple example: walk-through of a concrete example of an artifact using the template;
• The artifact template in detail: a detailed technical guide on using the template for your own artifacts.
