Use when designing or auditing IEEE ICDE experiments for a data-engineering paper: workload realism, tuned baselines, scale curves over single points, throughput and tail-latency with declared variance, mechanism-isolating ablations, cost/loss disclosure, and hardware reporting that satisfies a builder-heavy committee.

# ICDE Experiments

Use this before submission when the evaluation is not yet locked. At ICDE, the experiments are
where a systems paper is won or lost; a builder-heavy committee reads them adversarially.

## Experiment audit

- Map each performance claim to a **figure, table, or measured crossover** — no orphan claims.
- Run **tuned baselines**, not straw men. Document the tuning budget you gave each competitor;
  an untuned baseline is the single most common ICDE reject trigger.
- Prefer **curves over points**: show behavior across scale factors, data sizes, or contention
  levels, not one operating point where you happen to win.
- Report **throughput and tail latency with variance** — multiple runs, and captions that say
  whether bars are standard deviations, confidence intervals, or percentiles. A p99 that hides
