A comprehensive guide for drafting the Related Work section for top-tier networking conferences (e.g., CoNEXT, SIGCOMM). It emphasizes moving beyond simple literature summaries to create a 'delta argument'—clearly defining what the paper contributes over the closest prior work. Guidelines cover covering specific networking 'lanes' (like IMC, NSDI, SIGMETRICS), maintaining double-anonymous citations, and ensuring the contribution is concrete and testable.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting networking research to CoNEXT. It outlines best practices for achieving technical reproducibility, focusing on pinning traces, configurations, environments, and pipelines. Learn the critical timeline for optional ACM badging and how to maintain an honest data-availability posture for robust academic review.

This guide helps researchers determine the most appropriate top-tier academic conference (e.g., CoNEXT, SIGCOMM, NSDI, IMC) and submission cycle for their networking research. It provides detailed criteria, routing tables, and tests (e.g., platform-realism test, model-swap test) to ensure the contribution is evaluated on a real target and fits the target community's scope and rigor.

A comprehensive guide detailing the structural and rhetorical requirements for submitting networking systems papers to CoNEXT. It emphasizes leading with the problem context, tying every claim to real-world measurements, acknowledging limitations proactively, and adhering to strict academic formatting standards (acmart).

This skill serves as a comprehensive guide for positioning computer communications and networking manuscripts for the IEEE INFOCOM conference. It helps authors understand the venue's specific scope, the required evidence bar (solid analytical or empirical performance evidence), and how to re-frame their work to align with INFOCOM's standards compared to sibling venues like SIGCOMM or CoNEXT. Use this for submission strategy and manuscript calibration.

This tool guides authors in assessing whether their communications or networking manuscript is a suitable fit for the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC). It emphasizes the journal's call-driven, high-impact nature, checking if the contribution is a true frontier advance required by a specific, active topical call, rather than just a routine technical improvement. It covers scope alignment, technical rigor, and house style.

This skill guides researchers on preparing manuscripts for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (TWC). It provides a detailed framework for assessing whether a paper has genuine wireless specificity, requiring quantitative analysis and simulation under realistic channel models (e.g., imperfect CSI, mobility). It covers core topics like MIMO, resource allocation, and advanced networking, ensuring the work meets the rigorous standards of top-tier academic publications.

This guide provides rigorous methodology for authors submitting security and machine learning research to top conferences. It emphasizes the need to 'freeze the world' of measurement by pinning target versions, microarchitectural states, and network conditions. It details how to report probabilistic evidence (like attack success rates) and manage ethical data release, ensuring findings remain valid and verifiable over time.

This guide outlines best practices for ensuring the scientific reproducibility and artifact availability of network measurement research. It distinguishes between analysis reproducibility (recreating figures from released data) and method reproducibility (re-running the measurement). It mandates thorough documentation of provenance, including vantage points, timing, and tool versions, ensuring research claims are verifiable and robust.

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.

A comprehensive guide for drafting and revising academic papers focused on Internet Measurement (IMC). It teaches authors how to restructure their work to prioritize measurable findings, ensuring the narrative leads with the core discovery, making methodologies fully auditable, integrating ethical considerations early, and adopting the appropriate academic discipline for networking conferences.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for conducting rigorous networking evaluations, particularly for top-tier conferences. It mandates that every networking claim—be it optimality, performance improvement, or real-world behavior—must be matched with specific, verifiable evidence. This includes rigorous mathematical proof, seeded simulation results, or real-traffic testbed measurements. The guide emphasizes stating assumptions, using fair baselines, and ensuring statistical reproducibility across all studies.
