MobiSys Camera Ready

Use this after acceptance. Reopen the current camera-ready instructions, the ACM rights form,

the registration page, and the decision email before advising authors — dates and forms are

cycle-specific.

Camera-ready audit

• Convert the anonymous submission to the public ACM version: author names, affiliations,

acknowledgements, funding, and de-anonymized code/data links.

• Apply the current ACM double-column template and page budget. MobiSys 2026 kept a **12-page

body including figures and tables**; references and appendices sit outside the cap — confirm

the final-version rule against the current instructions.

• Deliver every result promised in the rebuttal; a promised camera-ready experiment that

never appears is a credibility failure the AC may notice.

• Complete ACM rights, the CCS concepts/keywords metadata, title/abstract/author-order

metadata, and the bibliography.

• Coordinate the three artifact badges so passing badges are printed on the paper and recorded

in the ACM DL (mobisys-artifact-evaluation).

• Confirm registration and the June in-person obligation; MobiSys expects at least one author

to present.

What changes between the reviewed and final version

| Element | Reviewed (anonymous) | Camera-ready (ACM) |

|---|---|---|

| Author block | Stripped | Restored with affiliations |

| Repository links | Anonymized placeholder | Public, licensed, archival |

| Screenshots / demo media | Blurred / de-identified | Restored, subject to vendor NDA |

| Rebuttal promises | Pending | Delivered in body/appendix |

| Metadata | Minimal | ACM rights + CCS concepts |

De-anonymization sweep

• Restore the author block, acknowledgements, grants, and any contribution statements the

anonymous version stripped.

• Replace anonymized repository placeholders with the public, licensed, archival artifact and

test every link from a logged-out browser.

• Un-blur screenshots and demo media, and restore device/vendor names where they were hidden

for review — while respecting any vendor NDA on hardware details.

ACM double-column reflow

• Switching the template from anonymous to final mode changes spacing; recheck every page

break, figure placement, and wide device-table width after the flip.

• Adding the author block, acknowledgements, and funding lines can push the body over budget;

confirm the 12 pages still hold rather than assuming.

• Keep figure, table, and section numbering identical to the reviewed version so the review and

rebuttal record remain traceable to the final text.

Worked example: integrating a promised result

The rebuttal promised a fifth-device measurement to answer a generalization concern.

Camera-ready move: add the device to the multi-device table and one sentence of interpretation,

regenerate the figure from the artifact so numbers match, and note the device in App. A's

provenance table — without restructuring the accepted contribution.

Camera-ready readiness

Final-package checklist:
  PDF: ACM double-column, 12-page body confirmed, numbering unchanged
  metadata: ACM rights, CCS concepts, author order, abstract
  promises: every rebuttal-promised result delivered
  artifacts: badges coordinated, repo de-anonymized and archival
  logistics: registration done, June presenter and demo assigned

Hedged logistics

• Registration pricing, ACM rights/OA mechanics, and exact camera-ready dates change every

cycle; confirm against the decision email and current instructions.
