Skill UI

A comprehensive project management guide for navigating the IEEE INFOCOM conference submission cycle. This skill outlines every critical milestone, from initial topic selection and abstract registration through full-paper submission, camera-ready preparation, and final presentation. It emphasizes backward planning around the single annual summer deadline and highlights key risk areas for success.

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 guide for authors targeting top-tier conferences like ICAPS. It assists in re-framing automated planning and scheduling manuscripts, providing detailed advice on structuring the contribution, identifying necessary empirical/theoretical evidence, optimizing scope vocabulary, and strategically positioning the work against related venue submissions. Use this tool for venue selection, manuscript calibration, and strengthening the submission narrative.

A comprehensive guide for authors to determine the optimal conference venue for their speech-related research. It utilizes a 'modality test' to assess whether a contribution relies on audio signal characteristics (acoustics, prosody, etc.) or merely text transcriptions. The guide helps authors choose between major venues like INTERSPEECH, ACL, ICASSP, and specialized workshops, ensuring the claim is reviewed by relevant experts.

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 detailed guide helps researchers pre-write their papers by evaluating if their intelligent robotic system is a strong fit for IROS or other top-tier conferences (ICRA, RSS, CoRL). It emphasizes the importance of demonstrating integrated systems (perception, planning, control) on real hardware under defined embodiment constraints, ensuring the contribution is demonstrably hard and system-based.

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.

Provides a detailed and rigorous workflow guide for managing a full academic conference submission cycle (e.g., ISCA). It advises researchers on working backward from critical deadlines—from topic selection and baseline freezing to abstract writing, paper submission, handling reviews, and generating camera-ready artifacts—treating the academic process like a structured engineering schedule.

This guide helps researchers determine the optimal conference or journal venue for their software engineering contribution. It specifically addresses whether the core of the work is a testing or analysis technique evaluated on real subjects (ISSTA), or if it fits better within broader Software Engineering (ICSE/FSE), formal verification (PLDI/CAV), or applied domains.

This guide helps researchers navigate the complex landscape of theoretical computer science conferences. It explains the crucial distinction between 'conceptual novelty' (favored by ITCS) and 'deep technical results' (favored by STOC/FOCS). Use this to determine if your research contribution is a new idea, model, or connection, or if it is the deepest, most polished theorem on an established problem.

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.

This guide helps researchers determine if their project genuinely involves machine learning and computer system co-design. It outlines criteria, such as the "co-design test," and provides a routing table to decide whether the work belongs at MLSys compared to general systems conferences (OSDI, SOSP) or pure ML venues (ICML, NeurIPS).
