sensys-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a project belongs at SenSys after the 2026 merger absorbed IPSN and IoTDI — testing whether the contribution is a built, measured sensing/embedded/IoT/on-device-AI system rather than a pure algorithm, a mobile-networking mechanism, or an offline ML result, and routing misfits to MobiCom, MobiSys, or an ML/DSP venue.

# SenSys Topic Selection
SenSys accepts a **system you built and measured under embedded constraints**. The 2026 merger
of SenSys, IPSN, and IoTDI widened the mandate — low-power networked sensing, embedded systems,
IoT, and on-device AI now share one venue — but it did not soften the systems bar: a strong
SenSys paper still has a **buildable mechanism** whose value is shown in **energy, latency,
memory, and deployment behavior on real hardware**, not in a proof or a leaderboard delta.
## The fit test
Ask these in order; a "no" is a routing signal, not a verdict on the work's quality.
1. **Is there a system?** Can you point to the artifact — firmware, a node, a protocol, a
deployment — that embodies the contribution? A pure algorithm with no embedded realization
