Welcome to the 2023 REUNS Workshop

The 8th National Workshop for REU Research in Networking and Systems (2023 REUNS) will be held in Washington DC, USA as part of ACM MobiHoc 2023 . The REUNS workshop is a venue for undergraduate students who conduct research as part of NSF-sponsored CISE REU research experiences.

REUNS 2023 will feature research done by undergraduate researchers guided by their mentors. The workshop seeks original submissions in research areas that are currently funded by the NSF's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE).

The key requirement for this workshop is that the submission’s lead author must be an undergraduate student funded as part of the NSF REU program, either as an REU supplement or REU Site.

Camera Ready Instructions

Camera-Ready Preparation: Authors should visit the official ACM MobiHoc 2023 website at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2023/camera-ready.html to follow the procedure for preparing the camera-ready version of their paper. If there are any formatting errors in your camera-ready, please upload a new version to address the formatting errors soon.

Author Registration Requirement: To ensure the inclusion of the paper in the final proceedings, every paper must have a separate regular (i.e., non-student) registration by an author. ONE registration is valid for ONE paper. If an author has both a conference paper and a workshop paper, they can use the combined conference+workshop rate to cover both papers, but they must be authored by the same individual. Authors should register prior to the submission of camera-ready manuscript. The registration policy and site can be accessed at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2023/registration.html.

Confirmation Email: After completing the registration process, authors should send an email to the Registration Chair, Laura Galluccio (laura.galluccio@unict.it). The subject of the email should be "[ACM Mobihoc 2023 Registration]." In the body of the email, authors need to provide the following information:

Paper number

Paper title

The name of the registered author

This confirmation email is necessary to verify the name of the author who is registered for each paper.

Paper Presentation: Each paper must be presented at the workshop. We recommend you to plan your trip as soon as possible. Venue and Hotel information is available at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2023/venue.html. Visa information is available at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2023/visa.html
