Can I put details of evaluations results in the Appendix? I'm about to send a paper about performance optimization in the field of Cloud computing. My target conference has a limit of 10-pages for the main section with unlimited pages for appendixes/references. My question is whether it's a good idea to move small details of my evaluation results to the Appendixes (to save some pages for other stuff) or it's better to somehow fit them in the main section?
My current plan is to keep key important evaluation results in the main section (maybe only 1 or 2 graphs) and move every other messy stuff to the appendix, including comparison graphs, evaluation parameters, extracted latency/throughput data, and the most importantly, details of scenarios that I considered for the evaluation.
Is this a good idea?
P.S: M̶y̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶e̶r̶v̶i̶s̶o̶r̶ A senior researcher who hasn't read my paper is against this idea. He says: &quot;you should only put things into Appendixes that if a reader misses them, he/she can still exactly understand what you did in your paper (e.g., proofs of theorems). Evaluation results are not in this category, and they need to be put in the main section.&quot; ... Of course, I agree with what he says, but my question is specifically about whether small details of evaluation experiments is fitting in this category or not.
I think your advisor gives good advice.
But if you are sole author, you can probably write it as you like and wait for the response of reviewers of the conference papers. But if you are too far off the &quot;standard&quot; you risk a quick reject rather than a suggestion to change it.
If you are only a co-author you need to negotiate it, of cours.e
