As a top-tier conference, the ACM MobiCom conference attracts significant research contributions that address important research and builds practical working systems, spanning in a wide range of research areas. Moreover, the ACM MobiCom conference features a single-track technical program, where all the accepted high-quality peer-reviewed papers are presented to the entire audience, fostering a sense of community and cohesive experience with interaction and discussion around same core information and common contents. This project supports students from US universities to attend ACM MobiCom 2025 in person.
