A comprehensive guide for revising technical papers submitted to top-tier networking conferences (like INFOCOM). It emphasizes structural rigor, defensive writing techniques, pairing every claim with proportional evidence, and adhering strictly to page limitations to proactively address reviewer objections before the rebuttal phase.

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.

This guide models the three-stage review process for the Journal on Communications (JOC). It helps authors understand the initial screening (format, relevance, plagiarism), expert peer review, and final committee review. By predicting potential outcomes and identifying strategic 'levers' at each stage, users can effectively revise manuscripts, manage submission timelines, and significantly increase the chances of successful publication in communication, networking, or information security fields.

A comprehensive guide for researchers aiming to submit manuscripts to the Journal on Communications (JOC). It helps users assess if their topic fits the core communication discipline (theory, wireless, networking, security, signal processing) and distinguishes it from related academic journals. The guide also assists in selecting the appropriate article type and ensuring sufficient innovation and empirical rigor before submission.

This guide assists researchers in determining the most appropriate conference venue for their mobile/wireless networking research. It provides specific criteria—such as contribution type, reliance on mobility, and evidence form—to help authors accurately route their work to venues like MobiCom, MobiSys, or SenSys, preventing submission mismatches and maximizing publication success.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting papers to mobile and wireless networking conferences (e.g., MobiCom). It emphasizes structuring the paper around measured evidence, ensuring every claim is paired with a precise operating regime and empirical proof. Key sections cover the 'first-page arc,' reporting distributions instead of superlatives, and managing the manuscript's page budget for maximum impact.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to top systems conferences (e.g., SenSys, MobiCom). It details how to structure the Related Work section by sweeping multiple literature lanes (IoT, embedded AI, networking), proving citation venues, and most importantly, distinguishing your novel mechanism from the single nearest prior system with concrete, measurable differences. Essential for academic publication rigor.

This comprehensive guide outlines the strict criteria for submitting a paper to the SenSys conference after the 2026 merger. It clarifies that the core contribution must be a built, measured sensing or embedded system, demonstrating value based on physical resources like energy, memory, and latency on real hardware, rather than being a pure algorithm or networking mechanism.

A comprehensive guide for submitting networking research artifacts for SIGCOMM conferences. It dictates how to package code, downscale topologies, substitute traces, and pin environments so that reviewers can independently verify and reproduce the paper's headline results, establishing verifiable scientific claims.

A comprehensive guide for designing and auditing high-stakes networking experiments, particularly for top-tier academic submissions like SIGCOMM. It outlines the 'evidence ladder' from microbenchmarks to live deployment, emphasizing the need to select robust baselines, report full performance distributions (percentiles and variance), and accurately map the mechanism's operational break points.

A comprehensive guide for positioning academic papers in highly competitive technical fields, particularly networking and distributed systems. Learn how to systematically sweep major venues (SIGCOMM, NSDI, MobiCom, etc.), rigorously prove every prior work via dblp/ACM DL, and articulate clear novelty by distinguishing core mechanisms from mere engineering polish. Essential for top-tier conference submissions.

A comprehensive guide for researchers deciding if their networking contribution (mechanism, architecture, or protocol) is a strong fit for SIGCOMM. It provides criteria for distinguishing between research novelty and real-world experience, and routes the work to similar top venues like NSDI, MobiCom, and IMC based on the core technical signal.
