The 22nd Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2019)



Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE

24-26 February 2021

Location: Cyberspace



ACM HotMobile 2021, the Twenty-second International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches.



We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on systems and applications and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the

state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a “6-pages conference paper.”



We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes:

· Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility.

· Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing.

· Wearable computing, internet of things, edge computing, sensing, and context-awareness.

· HCI issues related to mobile computing.

· Security and privacy of mobile computing.

· Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility.

· Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications.

· Mobile and wireless technologies on lessening or resolving various issues related to COVID-19 and future similar epidemics/pandemics.



Important dates :

· Deadline for submissions October 30, 2020, 11:59pm EDT

· Acceptance notification December 23, 2020



Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and mature ideas to warrant publication.



As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. 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 should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. The submissions must meet the following formatting requirements:



· Font size no smaller than 10pt.

· Font size of the bibliography no smaller than 9pt.

· Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column.

· Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches).



We recommend the use of the "sigconf" ACM proceedings template, available at: http://www.acm.org/, with the font size of the main body amended to 10pt. An example Tex document can be found here. For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submissions are meeting all formatting requirements.

The papers accepted to HotMobile 2021 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy.



--- HotMobile in the Time of COVID-19---

We have been closely monitoring the progress of COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on conferences and travel restrictions. As much as we prefer to hold in-person conferences, the safety and well-being of the community is our top priority. Therefore, we would like to announce that ACM HotMobile 2021 has been decided to be taking place entirely virtual. With the change, we will also be able to offer a very low registration fee while you worry less about travel restrictions/costs. Please do not hesitate to contribute your latest research result to the workshop! Stay safe, and we look forward to receiving your submissions.

Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive assessment of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, offering a trusted resource for academics and professionals seeking authoritative conference evaluations. The compilation of this ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a leading platform for science research renowned for delivering reliable data on scientific contributions across all major fields, including Computer Science, since 2014.

The position of each conference within the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on a rigorous analysis that includes both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists—specifically those who have appeared at the conference within the last three years. This innovative metric ensures a balanced evaluation that accurately reflects both the scientific impact and the prestige of the conferences listed.

All Impact Score values have been gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the ranking reflects the most current and relevant data available. The ranking process was exhaustive, involving the evaluation of over 2,742 conferences. These conferences were selected following a detailed inspection and thorough analysis of more than 148,739 scientific documents published over the past three years by 13,184 leading and esteemed scientists in the area of Computer Science.

The complexity and depth of this process underscore the significant expertise and rigorous methodology applied by our team of specialists at every stage. For readers interested in a detailed explanation of the methodology and the procedures behind the computation of the ranking scores, further information can be accessed on our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Mahadev Satyanarayanan (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Suman Banerjee (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Shijia Pan (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Prabal Dutta (5 papers) absent at the last edition,

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.62% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 6.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 43.75% of all publications and 9.38% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
