ACM WiSec Reproducibility Initiative

ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec), in 2017, pioneered a process to support greater reproducibility in mobile and wireless security experimental research. The goal of this process was to increase the impact of mobile and wireless research, enable dissemination of research results, sharing of code and experiments set-ups, and to enable the research community to build on prior experimental results. Towards this goal, WiSec introduced a reproducibility label to recognize papers whose results were reproduced by an independent group of researchers.

Reproducibility in wireless research were advocated for by Guevara Noubir during his keynote lecture at the ACM WiNTECH workshop in 2016. The ACM WiSec Reproducibility initiative was later presented at the ACM Reproducibility meeting in New York City (December 2017).
