Use when revising a MobiSys paper for a mobile-systems first page, the pain → system-design → on-device-evidence arc, 12-page double-column compression, double-blind wording, and claims disciplined by measured latency, energy, memory, and thermal budgets rather than superlatives, so the draft survives systems-and-services reviewers.

# MobiSys Writing Style

Use this when revising the main paper. A MobiSys paper needs a compact statement of the
on-device problem, the system that solves it, and the measurements that prove it — in the
12-page double-column body.

## Revision rules

- Put the mobile-system contribution on the first page: the on-device pain, why current
  systems fail *on the device*, the mechanism, and the measured payoff.
- Name the device budget explicitly. MobiSys reviewers are sensitive to hidden compute,
  energy, latency, memory, and thermal assumptions.
- Pair every major claim with a measurement on real hardware, a design argument, or a
  reproducibility detail — never a superlative.
