A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC). It helps assess the fit, scope, and required evidence for applied security papers, ensuring the manuscript is properly reframed from academic theory to deployable, operational defenses. Use this tool for venue selection and submission strategy.

This guide provides expert principles for designing and auditing system-level experiments in computer architecture (e.g., for ASPLOS-level conferences). It details the proper usage of various instruments—from real silicon and FPGAs to cycle-level simulators and analytical models—ensuring that every claim is matched to a valid, stated error model. It emphasizes workload selection, establishing strong baselines, performing rigorous ablation studies, and honestly reporting measurement noise and limitations to maintain scientific credibility.

This guide provides a comprehensive project management workflow for submitting research to the USENIX FAST conference. It covers the entire academic lifecycle, detailing milestones from initial topic selection and evidence locking to double-blind submission, author response, and managing the complex two-deadline cycle, including potential one-shot revisions. Use this to back-plan your research schedule based on concrete storage measurement timelines.

A comprehensive guide for data engineers and researchers determining the best venue (ICDE, SIGMOD, VLDB, etc.) for their data-intensive systems paper. It outlines the foundational "data-management-primitive test" and provides strategic advice on navigating the overlaps and differences between major database conferences based on research focus and submission timeline.

A comprehensive guide to strategically routing robotics research projects. This skill helps determine whether a project is best suited for ICRA, IROS, CoRL, RA-L, or other specialized venues. It evaluates your work based on the physical embodiment test, contribution type (e.g., HRI, manipulation, perception), and provides a decision framework between direct conference submission and journal publication.

A comprehensive guide for researchers deciding the appropriate academic venue for their internet measurement work. It utilizes the 'measurement-first test,' ethical gate checks, and venue routing tables to help determine if a paper belongs at ACM IMC, SIGCOMM, NSDI, or a specialized journal, ensuring the core contribution is properly showcased.

This comprehensive guide helps researchers determine the most appropriate venue for their networking research paper. It distinguishes between major conferences like INFOCOM (broad, analytical/optimization), ACM SIGCOMM (built systems, deployment story), and USENIX NSDI (artifact-heavy systems). Use it to route your work correctly before drafting.

This skill helps authors determine if their manuscript is suitable for the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC). It provides comprehensive guidelines on framing the work, establishing the evidence bar (requiring scale, performance portability, and systems impact), and positioning the contribution for a top-tier HPC flagship venue. Use it for strategic venue selection and manuscript re-framing.

A comprehensive project management guide detailing the entire lifecycle of a high-stakes sensing systems research submission. It provides a detailed backward planning timeline, covering critical milestones from initial venue and track selection, hardware freezing, field deployment logistics, double-blind review, and final submission to major conferences like SenSys. It emphasizes managing the critical path of field work and data artifacts.

This guide provides expert advice on positioning research papers for top-tier computer architecture conferences (e.g., ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS). It teaches authors how to identify the 'center-of-gravity' of their novelty—whether it lies in the hardware organization, the hardware/software contract, or the software layer alone—to maximize review acceptance chances and successfully navigate the competitive academic publication landscape.

A comprehensive guide designed to help researchers determine the optimal top-tier conference venue for their computer architecture work. It provides detailed criteria—such as mechanism-residency tests, hardware cost analysis, and scope boundaries—to guide authors in correctly placing their research between venues like MICRO, ISCA, ASPLOS, and DAC.

A comprehensive project management guide for the MLSys conference submission cycle. It covers the entire research lifecycle, from initial venue selection and track choice through paper submission, review responses, artifact evaluation, and final conference presentation. The guide emphasizes backward planning, managing critical resources like shared GPU time, and mitigating common failure modes.
