Dear all, We would like to invite you to submit your contributions to ACM MobiSys 2022. *Link: *https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2022/ ==== *Call for Papers: *ACM MobiSys 2022 T *he 20th ACM International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services* *Dates**: June 25 - July 1, 2022 * *Location**: Portland, Oregon* *MobiSys 2022 will be an in-person conference, held in Portland, OR. The MobiSys organizers will continue to closely monitor the pandemic situation.* ACM MobiSys 2022 seeks to present innovative and significant research on all aspects of mobile computing, applications, and services. The conference values technical contributions with working implementations and practical evaluations. We also welcome work that explores new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications as long as the work goes well beyond providing an initial vision. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience with mobile applications, networks, and systems - Applications of mobile sensing and crowdsourcing - Tools for building and measuring mobile systems - Innovative wearable systems and applications - Software architectures for mobile devices and mobile computing - Data management for mobile applications - Infrastructure support for mobile computing - System-level energy management for mobile devices - Operating systems for mobile devices - Support for mobile social networking and the mobile web - Security and privacy in mobile systems - Resource-efficient machine learning and AI for mobile devices - Systems for location and context sensing and awareness - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing - Vehicular and mobile robotic systems - Systems and networking support for virtual or augmented reality - Applications of mobile systems in healthcare and accessibility - Applications in sustainability and smart cities - IoT systems and applications with their implications for mobile computing - Novel mobile applications using machine learning - Techniques and systems for novel human-mobile interactions and experiences - Nano satellites and mobile computing in outer space - Non-traditional topics that bring new perspectives to mobile computing Papers whose contributions overlap with work currently under review elsewhere must not be submitted to ACM MobiSys. Papers whose contributions overlap with an earlier published paper will be considered only if (1) the previous paper was published (not just accepted) at a workshop at least 6 months before ACM MobiSys submission date and (2) it adds significant new contributions over the previous paper. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. ACM MobiSys will use a double-blind review policy during the initial paper review. Authors are instructed to not include their names, affiliations, and contact information on the manuscript they submit for review. Authors should also anonymize the content of their paper to hide their identity. Reviewers will not know the identity of the authors until an outcome is decided for the paper. Only PC chairs will know the identity of the authors and be able to interact with them during the review process, should the need arise. Submissions which are not properly anonymized will be rejected without being reviewed. Posted technical reports (ArXiv or similar) do not count as prior publication. Submissions must be in PDF. We will not accept papers in any other format. Submissions must use a 10pt font (or larger) and be correctly formatted for printing on Letter-sized (8.5" by 11") paper. Paper text blocks must follow ACM guidelines: double-column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space between columns and single-spaced.* Submissions MUST be no more than twelve (12) pages + unlimited number of pages for bibliography references.* The 12-page limit includes everything (e.g., abstract, text, appendix, etc.) except for the bibliography references. Submissions can use this LaTex template that is known to comply with the formatting requirements. Authors remain responsible for checking that their resulting PDF meets our formatting and anonymity specifications. Submissions not following these guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Papers may be conditionally accepted and shepherded by a member of the program committee, with final acceptance determined by consent of the shepherd. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register for the conference (at non-student rate) and present the paper in-person. The MobiSys organizers will monitor the pandemic situation in case accommodations are needed. *Artifact Evaluation* Submissions may opt for an artifact evaluation. When authors do so, they commit to providing the implementations, models, test suites, benchmarks, and data used to derive the results presented in the paper to the artifact evaluation committee. Based on the evaluation, the papers will be awarded the appropriate artifact evaluation badge https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging. The artifact evaluation will be done after paper acceptance decisions. *Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.* *Important Dates* *Abstract Registration*: December 13th, 2021 AoE *Paper Submission*: December 20th, 2021 AoE *Notification of Acceptance*: March 14th, 2022 Note that titles and abstracts submitted to register the paper by the abstract deadline, albeit not final, must be sufficiently informative. *Contact* If you have any questions, please contact the Program Co-Chairs, Aruna Balasubramanian and Junehwa Song at *mobisys2022pcchairs(a)sigmobile.org <mobisys2022pcchairs(a)sigmobile.org>*.

What Happened to RACI in 2021?
by Gergana Petrova 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, RACI funds help young academics present their research at RIPE NCC events -- but you don't need financial support to take part in virtual events. So what did we use the money for this year? We decided to keep supporting academia and awarded two projects the money to let them happen: - Artificial Intelligence (AI) Methods and Tools for Improving Network Monitoring Practices (AI4NetMon) - Mapping Connectivity and the Digital Space in Central Asia Read about why we decided to fund academic research, the selection process and more about the projects themselves here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/gergana_petrova/raci-funding-in-2021-planning-… We'd love to hear your thoughts - either in the comments of the article or simply reply to this email. Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova Community Development RIPE NCC Stationsplein 11, 1012 AB Amsterdam, The Netherlands T: +31 20 535 4444 www.ripe.net

Hosting an Academic Day at your Institution
by Gergana Petrova 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Dear all, I have a question for you. The RIPE NCC used to host in-person academic days on various topcs such as Internet 101, Routing, the RIPE Database, IPv6, RPKI, Internet Governance. With the current COVID restrictions we would like to move these online. Are any of your universities interested in such an online event? If so, can you support us by organising and spreading the word about the session and inviting students and we will deliver the content. Please let me know if you are interested. We can organise these relatively quickly. And if it does not work for you before summer, we can do it also in fall, regardless of the COVID situation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

by Gergana Petrova 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, I want to share with you that RIPE NCC recently launched an IPv6 Security Course. https://academy.ripe.net That is in addition to the courses already available, such as Introduction to IPv6 and the RIPE Database. The IPv6 Security course covers: 1) How to protect your IPv6 network against new attack vectors and most common threats 2) Filtering rules for IPv6 packets 3) Security options for IPv6 routing protocols 4) Tools to assess IPv6 security threats and mitigation techniques 5) IPv6 network vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques 6) Designing a high-level IPv6 security strategy 7) Justify the need to implement IPv6 security solutions All the courses are available for free to anyone. If you think they might be useful to your students or anyone in your department, please share with them the link. https://academy.ripe.net We've also launched exams that you can take after you complete the course (or without completing the course if you already know the material) and receive a certificate for doing so. The exam questions are aligned with the demands of the job market, so that the certifications test actual skills and knowledge required in the workplace. Anyone from academia can request free vouchers to take the exams for a limited time. Please write to exams at ripe.net before 15 October. The issued vouchers will be valid until the end of the year. To assign the voucher we need to know the name, email, position and organisation/university. You can read more about RIPE NCC Certified Professionals here: https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals I hope you found this useful.
