From an announcement today here on an ACM organized conference:


    "We encourage authors to prepare their artifacts for submission
     and make them more portable, reusable and customizable using
     open-source frameworks including Docker, OCCAM, reprozip,
     CodeOcean and CK."

I hadn't heard about those until I read that one, but it does sound
interesting.
