[Fwd: The IEEE/ACM ToN paper submission process]
by Lars Wolf 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: The IEEE/ACM ToN paper submission process Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 13:24:22 -0400 From: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> Reply-To: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> To: SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG This message is from Don Towsley, Editor-In-Chief of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking --Erich ----- Begin forwarded message ----- Folks, For several years the EiC of ToN has been making assignments of papers to the Editorial board once a month. This started way before I took over as EiC and there are several reasons for this. First, the task of making assignments is time consuming; doing once a month rather than either once a week or as papers are submitted requires a greater time commitment on the part of the EiC of ToN. Second, the number of papers that arrive each month is nearly the same as the number of Associate Editors. A monthly assignment makes the task of load balancing among AEs easier. Third, AEs can more easily plan for these assignments when they occur at a regular time each month. I bring this to your attention because this process can be advantageous to prospective authors. My intention as EiC of ToN is to assign to AEs all papers submitted by the 25-th of a month during the first week of the following month. Feel free to to take advantage of this and use the extra time to further improve your submission. I would also like to point out that approximately ten days go by between when a paper is assigned to an AE and we notify the authors of this assignment. This period allows for the identification of conflicts of interest and papers unsuitable for ToN. In most cases, however, AEs begin the review process immediately after they receive their assignments. So, please do not be alarmed by the delays that you perceive before you learn which AE has been assigned to your paper. In most cases the review process is already under way. Last, I am working on how to reduce the delays before authors obtain a first decision. However, there is only so much that I can do. This consists of streamlining the review process. This includes identifying papers unsuitable for ToN and papers that clearly have no chance of making it through the review process as quickly as possible. Doing so reduces both the burden on AEs and on reviewers. I have some other ideas that I will report on at another time. It is really important that you do your part as well. In the end, the quality of the journal and the timeliness of the published papers depend on your willingness to review papers. So I ask you to PLEASE agree to review papers for the journal and when you do, to do so in a timely manner. Ultimately, your willingness to submit high quality papers and to review other submissions is the key to the success of ToN. Finally, I am always looking for suggestions on how to improve ToN; please send me your comments. Thanks Don Towsley EiC, IEEE/ACM ToN ton(a)cs.umass.edu ----- End forwarded message -----

We value results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys_pcchairs(a)acm.org. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile and wireless systems - Middleware and service architectures for mobile and wireless applications - Data management for mobile and wireless applications - Operating Systems for resource-constrained mobile devices - Disconnected and weakly connected operation - Proxies and data adaptation - Mobile agents - Infrastructure support for mobility - Security, privacy, authorization, and billing - System-level energy management for mobile and wireless devices - Wearable and handheld devices in the context of system design - Personal mobility - Personal-area networks and systems - Cyber foraging and resource discovery of mobile services - Systems for context sensing and location awareness - Application interfaces and services supporting the mobile user - Tools and design methodologies for building mobile and wireless systems - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing - User interfaces and usability issues for mobile and wireless applications - Experience with mobile and wireless systems Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee. MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions are due Monday, November 28, 2005, 23:59 EST. This is a hard deadline, and no extensions will be granted. The submission process is electronic. All submissions must be in PDF format. See the conference web page for detailed instructions. Poster and Demo Sessions Do you have interesting work you would like to share, or a great idea that is not quite ready to be published? Poster sessions are for you! The poster sessions introduce new or ongoing work. Demos of working systems and applications are also encouraged. The MobiSys audience will provide valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work. See the conference web page for submission details. ____________________________________________________________ About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements. In general, a message containing a group of such announcements will be sent about once per month with the subject line "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE monthly posting". On rare occasions, announcements of particular interest or urgency will be sent out with a different subject line, starting with "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting" (for readers who wish to use mail filtering programs). Finally, this mailing list is made available for use by publicity chairs of SIGOPS-sponsored conferences and the SIGOPS officers.
