Those seeking to reproduce a computational experiment often need to manually
look at the code to see how to build necessary libraries, configure parameters,
find data, and invoke the experiment; it is not automatic. Automatic
reproducibility is a more stringent goal, but working towards it would benefit
the community. This work discusses a machine-readable language for specifying
how to execute a computational experiment. We invite interested stakeholders to
discuss this language at https://github.com/charmoniumQ/execution-description .Comment: Submitted to SE4RS'23 Portland, O
