Description

  • There have been cases where competitive results got changed and even though available submissions were ready, the company was not happy publishing them.
  • One potential solution here will be for the preview system submitter to show the performance to the review committee and make the code and hardware available in the subsequent round. Whether the preview system must now be audited is a question to be answered.

Research direction

Start with the post mortem task proposed by @arjunsuresh and compare the two scenarios described: publishing a preview result versus submitting and withdrawing it. Done means the review committee’s required process is decided and the outcome is recorded clearly, including whether preview systems must be audited and when code and hardware become available.
