SIGARCH/TCCA statement on investigating reviewing irregularities

Dear members of the computer architecture community,

In light of the recent tragedy of a PhD student’s death, we hereby inform the community that there is an ongoing investigation into the alleged reviewing irregularities surrounding the event. The investigation was launched by IEEE TCCA and ACM SIGARCH, in cooperation with IEEE and ACM.

The ACM SIGARCH and IEEE TCCA Executive Committees hold members of our community to the highest standards of ethics, and assure our members that the integrity of our publication procedures is of utmost importance to us.
