Evaluates research paper fit for ACM MobiSys and routes misaligned submissions to optimal sibling venues like MobiCom, SenSys, or NSDI.

MobiSys Topic Selection is a strategic academic routing tool designed to help systems researchers determine whether a project genuinely fits ACM MobiSys—the premier SIGMOBILE venue for mobile systems, applications, and services. By evaluating the core contribution against strict criteria (such as on-device constraints, real hardware implementation, and runtime resource management), the skill detects common misfit patterns and redirects wireless mechanisms, sensor networks, cloud backends, or ubiquitous computing findings to target venues like ACM MobiCom, SenSys, USENIX NSDI/OSDI, ACM IMWUT, or HotMobile to prevent costly rejection cycles.

Key Features

01Four-point MobiSys fit test assessing system nature, hardware constraints, on-device proof, and target audience
02Sibling venue routing map directing misfits to MobiCom, SenSys, NSDI/OSDI, IMWUT, or HotMobile
03Contribution-type honesty checklist to separate core systems innovations from incidental evaluation vehicles
041,086 GitHub stars
05Identification of common misfit patterns like simulation-only evaluations or model-only ML submissions
06Standardized diagnostic output reporting fit tier, device dependence, evidence gaps, and re-routing advice

Use Cases

01Auditing research methodologies to ensure on-device hardware evidence meets top systems conference standards
02Evaluating whether an on-device machine learning or edge inference project qualifies as a MobiSys system contribution
03Deciding between submitting a wireless/sensing paper to MobiSys versus ACM MobiCom or SenSys before deadlines
