Diversity & Inclusion

ACM REP is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Computing and Reproducibility

Following the model set forth by the overall ACM community, the ACM REP community encompasses the wide range and diverse set of professionals working on reproducibility and computing, from educators and researchers to software and hardware developers, system engineers, project managers, and data scientists.

As noted by the ACM, “Diversity is achieved when the individuals around the table are drawn from a variety of backgrounds and experience, leading to a breadth of viewpoints, reasoning, and approaches […] Equity is achieved by supporting the participation of marginalized communities in computing as well as by promoting impartiality and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources and systems […] [and] Inclusion is achieved when the environment is characterized by behaviors that welcome and embrace diversity.”

ACM REP is committed to creating an environment that welcomes new ideas and perspectives, and where hostility or other antisocial behaviors are not tolerated. Conference organizers welcome participation and contribution from participants representing different ages, races, genders and sexual orientation, nationality, physical ability, thinking style and experiences to enhance the overall richness in providing quality programs and services for the global community. We also recognize the need to make services, activities, events, etc. more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. We are open to make accommodations and arrangements so that all those interested can participate fully in our events and activities.

How to Report Unacceptable Behavior

In the event of unacceptable behavior, participants may wish to inform a person in authority. During ACM REP, participants should reach out to one of the General, Program, or Tutorial Chairs (see list below). These individuals can provide information about the process for handling complaints or handling immediate onsite needs.

There may be cases (such as those involving venue- or employer-specific policies) where an on-site person who is informed of harassment will be required to file a complaint.

Don’t hesitate to keep in touch with one of the chair of the conference:

General Chairs: Tanu Malik & Jay Lofstead
Program Chairs: Ignacio Laguna & Victoria Stodden
Tutorial Chairs: Reed Milewicz & Line Pouchard
