Use when drafting a TACAS (ETAPS) author response for the rebuttal window, covering the short single-round rebuttal, answering soundness and benchmark-fairness objections with checkable evidence, addressing artifact concerns for tool papers, respecting the per-category blind model when it applies, and reading which objections a rebuttal can and cannot move.

# TACAS Author Response
Use this after TACAS reviews are released in the **rebuttal window**. TACAS has **one speaking
turn**: a short, targeted author response before the PC finalizes decisions — not a journal-style
revise-and-resubmit. The job is to correct misreadings and supply the one or two checkable facts
that move a borderline paper, not to rewrite the paper.
## Triage
- Answer what affects the decision: **soundness** of the algorithm, **fairness and reproducibility**
of the evaluation, **artifact** function (for tool papers), correctness of a proof step, and
genuine misreadings.
- Use evidence that already exists in the submitted paper or artifact, or a number you can state
now — never a vague promise of future work.
