• Security and privacy of mobile devices, systems and mobile computing
• Machine learning and artificial intelligence with (and for) mobile computing
• System-level management for for mobile devices and applications
• Sustainability of mobile devices, systems and mobile computing
• New tools for mobile devices, systems and mobile computing
• Infrastructure support for mobile systems
• Reflection on mobile systems and applications
• Cyber-physical systems and mobile devices, systems and mobile computing
• Mobile systems sensing and context awareness
• User interaction
• Datasets and benchmarks

Abstract Requirements: Titles and abstracts must be informative and contain a meaningful title and abstract of at least 100 words which will correspond to the final version.

Concurrent/Previous Submissions Policy

• Papers overlapping with work under review elsewhere must not be submitted.
• Papers overlapping with an earlier published paper will be considered only if the previous paper was published at a workshop before the ACM MobiSys 2025 submission date and it adds significant new contributions.
• Double submissions are not allowed.
• Posted technical reports (ArXiv or similar) do not count as prior publication. Use different system names and avoid publicizing the technical report while it is under review.

Resubmission Policy

Authors are encouraged to provide a summary of the points raised by reviewers of previous submissions and how they were addressed. This summary should be submitted to the submission system and not part of the paper submission.

Double-Blind Review Process

ACM MobiSys 2025 will use a double-blind review policy during the initial paper review. Submissions must be properly anonymized.

Formatting Guidelines

• Submissions must be in PDF.
• No more than twelve (12) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than 12 pages will not be reviewed.
• Font size no smaller than 10 points.
• 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 by 11 inches).
• Limit the file size to less than 15 MB.

For LaTex users, please use \documentclass[sigconf,10pt]{acmart}. Verify that your submission is format-compliant.

Ethics Review Board Approval Requirement

Authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze non-public data derived from human subjects, will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review.

Mandatory Registration

At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register and present the paper in-person.

Artifact Evaluation and Paper Results Reproducibility

Authors of accepted papers will have the option to opt for an artifact evaluation.

Early Rejection Notification and Rebuttal

ACM MobiSys 2025 will have early rejection notifications and a rebuttal phase.

Responses must not include new experiments or describe additional work completed since submission and limited to 500 words.

Conflict of Interest

Authors must identify any conflict of interest with any author of the submission and indicate the type of conflict during the submission process.

Pitch Video for Accepted Papers

All accepted ACM MobiSys 2025 papers will be asked to submit, a (approximately) 90 seconds video presenting their accepted project to the SIGMOBILE YouTube Channel.

Policy on the Use of Large Language Models

Any text in submissions that is generated using large-scale language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly identified by the authors in the submitted paper.
