Use when explaining or planning around MobiSys peer review — the two-round process with an early-reject cut after round 1, the round-2 rebuttal window, double-blind HotCRP mechanics, the systems-and-services reviewer pool, and decision criteria for on-device claims, so response strategy fits how MobiSys decides.

# MobiSys Review Process

Use this to reason about review-stage strategy. Reopen the current CFP, the HotCRP site, and
the organizing-committee page before making process claims — the mechanics are cycle-specific.

## Process model

- MobiSys uses HotCRP for submission and review, with a paper-registration step preceding the
  paper upload and **double-blind** review (author identities hidden since 2017).
- Review runs in **two rounds**. Papers that do not advance past round 1 receive an **early
  rejection with reviews**, so authors can re-plan before the process ends. Round-2 survivors
