INFOCOM Topic Selection
Evaluates networking research projects to determine fit for IEEE INFOCOM versus sibling venues like SIGCOMM, NSDI, and MobiCom.
INFOCOM Topic Selection guides academic researchers in routing computer networking papers to the most suitable conference or journal venue. It evaluates whether a project's core contribution is an analytical model, a built system, or an empirical measurement, clearly distinguishing IEEE INFOCOM's broad analytical tradition from systems-heavy venues like ACM SIGCOMM and USENIX NSDI or specialized outlets like MobiCom, ICNP, ToN, and JSAC. With structured decision procedures, sibling-venue routing tables, and diagnostic tests like the model-swap evaluation, this skill helps authors maximize acceptance rates before investing effort in drafting.
