Unless the advisor's name goes first, due to alphabetic order... I guess having a surname starting on 'M' can harm my academic career :/



As dude_abides says, alphabetical order is common in theory. But in systems, author ordering typically indicates contribution and/or status.


Well, my team publishes in both, and the team-wide rule is to always put alphabetical.
