name: mobisys-camera-ready description: Use when preparing an accepted MobiSys paper for the ACM Digital Library camera-ready — de-anonymization, the ACM double-column final layout and 12-page budget, ACM rights and CCS metadata, delivering any results promised in the rebuttal, coordinating the three artifact badges, registration, and the June in-person talk and demo in Cambridge.

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.
