Use when drafting an ACM SoCC author response (rebuttal) during a round's response window, covering the single written turn, answering both the systems and the data/measurement reviewer, supplying the tail-latency and cost numbers reviewers ask for, staying within dual anonymity, and the fact that SoCC has no Major-Revision round to fall back on.

# SoCC Author Response

Use this after SoCC reviews are released, during the round's **author-response (rebuttal) window**
(SoCC 2026 Round 2: 10-12 Sep 2026). SoCC gives you **one written turn**, not a journal-style
revise-and-resubmit — there is no Major Revision to repair the paper in, so the rebuttal must do all
the persuading before the PC discussion decides. Because the reviewer pool is drawn from **both
SIGMOD and SIGOPS**, a winning rebuttal answers the *systems* reviewer and the *data/measurement*
reviewer, not one at the expense of the other.

## Triage

- Answer what affects the decision: significance of the cloud contribution, soundness of the
  mechanism, realism of the deployment or trace, and the measurement quality — especially **tail
  latency and cost**, the numbers reviewers most often say are missing.
