This year, we have been in charge of reproducing the experiments provided by the authors (repeatability), and exploring changes to experiment parameters (workability). In this paper, we assess the SIGMOD repeatability process in terms of participation, review process and results. While the participation is stable in terms of number of submissions, we find this year a sharp contrast between the high participation from Asian authors and the low participation from American authors. We also find that most experiments are distributed as Linux packages accompanied by instructions on how to setup and run the experiments. We are still far from the vision of executable papers.}, issn = {0163-5808}, doi = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2034863.2034873}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2034863.2034873}, author = {Bonnet, Philippe and Manegold, Stefan and Bj{\o}rling, Matias and Cao, Wei and Gonzalez, Javier and Granados, Joel and Hall, Nancy and Idreos, Stratos and Ivanova, Milena and Johnson, Ryan and Koop, David and Kraska, Tim and M{\"u}ller, Ren{\'e} and Olteanu, Dan and Papotti, Paolo and Reilly, Christine and Tsirogiannis, Dimitris and Yu, Cong and Freire, Juliana and Shasha, Dennis} }
