Computer-Aided Reproducibility

Computer networks research has been notoriously bad at reproducibility – a key aspect of making research results credible and convincing. This has been attributed to a lack of incentive for researchers to share the data underlying scientific results. We conjecture that this can be helped by reducing the amount of work that is required to make results reproducible. This paper introduces CAR – a system for “Computer-Aided Reproducibility”. Similar to other forms of “Computer-Aided- *”, our CAR tool facilitates the process of sharing the necessary data by partially automating it. © 2018 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE
