MobiSys Skills
A 12-skill depth pack for ACM MobiSys submissions: mobile-systems topic fit, HotCRP submission audit, the two-round + rebuttal response, ACM-badge artifact evaluation, on-device reproducibility, supplementary packaging, review-process modeling, 12-page writing, related-work coverage, real-device experiments, workflow, and sibling routing. Grounded in the official MobiSys 2026 CFP, artifact-evaluat
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Mobisys Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when planning a MobiSys project timeline backward from the single early-December paper deadline through registration, two-round review with an early-reject cut, the rebuttal, notification, artifact evaluation, camera-ready, and the June conference — with device-experiment lead time built in and the one-deadline-per-year risk made explicit.
- ▌ Mobisys Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when auditing a MobiSys submission for HotCRP readiness — the paper-registration prerequisite, the single December UTC deadline, the 12-page double-column body including figures and tables, double-blind anonymity including device and trace giveaways, desk-reject triggers, and final-week submission sequencing.
- ▌ Mobisys Experiments · brycewang-stanfordUse when designing or auditing the evaluation of a MobiSys submission — building real-device testbeds, instrumenting energy and thermal behavior, measuring latency and frame-rate tails, bounding memory footprint, choosing tuned system baselines, and running deployments or user studies, so systems reviewers see where the system wins and breaks on the device.
- ▌ Mobisys Camera Ready · brycewang-stanfordUse when preparing an accepted MobiSys paper for the ACM Digital Library camera-ready — de-anonymization, the ACM double-column final layout and 12-page budget, ACM rights and CCS metadata, delivering any results promised in the rebuttal, coordinating the three artifact badges, registration, and the June in-person talk and demo in Cambridge.
- ▌ Mobisys Related Work · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a MobiSys submission against the mobile-systems literature — offload, on-device ML, mobile OS and runtimes, sensing services, and energy — covering the right lanes, handling concurrent work, verifying that cited "MobiSys papers" are MobiSys rather than MobiCom/SenSys/OSDI, and self-citing without breaking double-blind.
- ▌ Mobisys Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse when preparing MobiSys supplementary material — appendices, extra device sweeps, protocol details, demo video and media, and anonymized artifacts under the 12-page-body, double-blind, and reviewer-discretion constraints, including how to split a mobile-systems paper between body, references-and-appendix overflow, and HotCRP fields.
- ▌ Mobisys Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when revising a MobiSys paper for a mobile-systems first page, the pain → system-design → on-device-evidence arc, 12-page double-column compression, double-blind wording, and claims disciplined by measured latency, energy, memory, and thermal budgets rather than superlatives, so the draft survives systems-and-services reviewers.
- ▌ Mobisys Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse when explaining or planning around MobiSys peer review — the two-round process with an early-reject cut after round 1, the round-2 rebuttal window, double-blind HotCRP mechanics, the systems-and-services reviewer pool, and decision criteria for on-device claims, so response strategy fits how MobiSys decides.
- ▌ Mobisys Author Response · brycewang-stanfordUse when drafting a MobiSys rebuttal after round-2 reviews — working within the scope limit (correct factual errors, answer specific reviewer questions), adding only directly-responsive new results, promising camera-ready work honestly, staying double-blind, and giving the area chair a clean rationale for a mobile-systems accept decision.
- ▌ Mobisys Reproducibility · brycewang-stanfordUse when strengthening MobiSys reproducibility evidence — capturing device, SoC, OS build, framework and model versions, power-instrument setup, seeds, and thermal conditions so an on-device result survives a different phone, deciding what data and firmware can legally ship, and keeping the paper consistent with the artifact for the ACM badge pipeline.
- ▌ Mobisys Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a project belongs at MobiSys — testing whether the core contribution is a mobile or embedded system, application, or service whose on-device behavior is the result, and routing wireless, sensor-network, distributed-systems, ubicomp, or early-idea misfits to MobiCom, SenSys, NSDI/OSDI, IMWUT, or HotMobile.
- ▌ Mobisys Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanfordUse when packaging a MobiSys artifact for the Artifact Evaluation Committee — choosing among the three independent ACM badges (Available, Evaluated–Functional, Results Reproduced), building the workflow scripts the single-blind AEC runs on its own machines, and providing a hardware-optional path for evaluators who lack the exact phone, wearable, or board.
