People in our field often use the Internet to offer extra materials which are associated with a published paper, such as source code, data sets, and other types of useful information which does not fit into the paper itself.

People tend to provide these materials through web hosting tied to their current employment situation, and provide the corresponding URLs in their papers. These URLs often stop functioning after an author’s employment situation changes. So there is a significant problem with the durability of these URLs.

Perhaps this problem could be addressed if ISCA itself started offering hosting for such materials when they are associated with papers in ISCA proceedings?

The Nature Publishing Group (nature.com) offers a service like this. Their papers can reference supplementary online material hosted by the publisher.
