Mobicom camera ready

MobiCom Camera-Ready

Acceptance turns the paper from an anonymous 12-page argument into a published, attributed ACM record. Camera-ready is where the double-blind wrapper comes off, where every promise made during review comes due, and where ACM's publishing machinery — rights, metadata, badges — has to be completed on a fixed clock. Treat it as an audit, not a formatting pass.

De-anonymize deliberately

The final version restores what the submission hid:

Item	Action
Author names and affiliations	add in the ACM double-column author block
Acknowledgments and funding	restore, with correct grant numbers
Self-citations	convert third-person ("prior work [12]") back to first person where appropriate
Repository / dataset URLs	make real (they were anonymized or withheld at submission)
PDF metadata	set author/title fields correctly

Do a reverse of the blindness sweep (mobicom-submission): confirm nothing that should now be attributed is still anonymized, and nothing that should be a working link is still a placeholder.

Discharge every review promise

Continuing reviewers and readers hold you to the record. Before finalizing:

• Fold in every change committed in the rebuttal and every required item from a one-shot revision (mobicom-author-response); a promise that silently vanishes is a credibility loss the community remembers.
• Re-check that headline numbers in the abstract and introduction still match the final experiments after any revision re-runs (mobicom-experiments).
• Keep the strongest result in the body — camera-ready is not the moment to demote it to an appendix to make room.

Format holds at 12 double-column pages

The final paper keeps the double-column geometry and the page discipline (the exact final page allowance and any extra-page option are 待核实 — confirm on the acceptance instructions). Figures still count; references and appendices remain outside the body cap (mobicom-supplementary). Do not let de-anonymization (a longer author block, added acknowledgments) silently push the body over.

ACM rights, metadata, and badges

Publication checklist (dates on the acceptance instructions, 待核实 per cycle):
  [ ] ACM eRights form completed; correct copyright/licensing selected
  [ ] title, authors, affiliations, abstract entered to match the PDF exactly
  [ ] ACM classification / keywords set
  [ ] artifact badges coordinated: AEC outcome reflected on the paper (Available /
      Functional / Reproduced) per the artifact timeline (`mobicom-artifact-evaluation`)
  [ ] camera-ready PDF passes the publisher's format validation

The artifact-badge timeline may run separately from the paper deadline; confirm both clocks so a badge you earned actually appears on the published version.

Plan the in-person talk

MobiCom 2026 is in Austin, October 26-30, 2026; accepted papers are presented in person (exact presenter and registration requirements are 待核实 — read the author instructions). Plan early:

• Designate the presenter and confirm travel and registration against the program dates.
• Build the talk around the mechanism and its measured evidence, the same arc as the paper's first page (mobicom-writing-style) — a demo or a short over-the-air video often lands harder than a results table.
• Prepare for the wireless-specific questions reviewers raised: channel conditions, mobility realism, energy boundary.

Final checklist

• De-anonymized fully; reverse blindness sweep passed.
• Every rebuttal/revision promise folded in and consistent.
• Headline numbers match final experiments.
• Double-column format holds; body within the page allowance.
• ACM rights + metadata complete; badges coordinated.
• Presenter designated; talk built on the mechanism→evidence arc.
