The S3 workshop provides a unique venue for graduate students around the world to discuss research ideas for mobile and wireless systems. The workshop is organized by a student-run TPC. S3 aims to foster early-career development among students, expose them to the workings of an academic life, and encourage student leadership and participation in the research community. We anticipate a vibrant event where students can freely interact with a broad peer group, and share their research opinions.
The Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop provides a unique venue for graduate students around the world to present, discuss, and exchange ideas on cross-cutting research on mobile wireless networks. As its name suggests, the workshop is organized by students, and the technical sessions are given by student presenters. The workshop aims at fostering early--career development among students and exposing them to the workings of an academic life. It provides a venue for students to learn about each other's work and discover opportunities for collaboration.
The workshop invites students to submit papers, posters, demos and participate in elevator pitch sessions. Students are also welcome to submit their ongoing work directly to the TPC committee. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the student TPC. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
You can also present a poster or demo of your work. Demos and poster submissions should consist of a one-page abstract in the same format describing the demonstration plan or the outline of the poster content. We encourage students with a paper, poster, or demo at ACM MobiCom to present their work at S3 as well. We will be awarding prizes for the best poster/demo.
3MT is developed by The University of Queensland for showcasing research done by PhD researchers. 3MT cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. Participating in 3MT develops academic, presentation and research communication skills, while developing research candidates’ ability to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. Plus, it comes with the opportunity to win prizes!.
The title of these papers must bear a "3MT:" prefix and should be a one-page abstract with the same format for paper submission. Contestants should prepare a one-slide presentation of the topic they plan to present for maximum of 3 minutes during the ACM S3 3MT competition. You should adhere to the standard 3MT competition rules listed here. We will be using the standard judging criteria for 3MT competition at ACM S3 which can be accessed here. Awards will be announced at the end of the event.
All paper/poster/3MT submissions will be handled electronically at the S3 2024 submission website. All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers.
Authors should prepare a PDF version of their papers. Paper submissions should be no longer than 3 pages in font size no smaller than 10 points, including figures and references, in standard ACM conference format. Demos and poster submissions should consist of a one-page abstract in the same format describing the demonstration plan or the outline of the poster content. We encourage students with a paper, poster, or demo at ACM MobiCom main conference to present their work at this workshop as well.
Before final submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper complies with the following requirements. Please do not violate these requirements with the aim of including additional material: submissions that violate the formatting requirements may not be reviewed. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines may be immediately rejected:
Our panel discussions' format focuses on the Q&A style that we encourage more questions asked from the student audience. There will be a shortlist of curated questions from the moderator, and most importantly, we aim to allocate most of the time to the student audiences' questions. Please email chairs if you are interested to join as a panelist.
TPC members are also invited to propose potential talks. While the program committee and presenters will be restricted to current graduate students, we encourage all members of the wireless/mobile computing community to attend and participate.
Please email TPC co-chairs Nakul Garg, Prerna Khanna, or Jian Ding (nakul22@umd.edu, pkhanna@cs.stonybrook.edu, jian.ding@yale.edu) if you have any questions.

The S3 Workshop provides a unique venue for graduate students around the world to plan, manage, and experience a vibrant workshop focused on research in all aspects of mobile wireless networks. It encompasses both theory and systems research, exposing participants to the full breadth of research in networking. As its name suggests, the workshop is organized by students, and the technical sessions are given by student presenters. It aims to foster early career development among students and expose them to the workings of an academic life. It encourages students to actively participate in the networking research community and offers unique networking opportunities.
Sponsoring S3 will give your organization increased visibility within the computer networking and mobile computing community, especially among talented PhD students. Supporting this student-organized workshop will benefit the community of student researchers. This focused venue will be a great opportunity for companies to attract the future researchers to them. We will acknowledge all supporters during the conference opening remarks and prominently display company names and logos on the S3 website. You can also direct your funds to name specific awards such as Travel Grants (which will encourage huge participations), Best Papers, Best Posters, Best Presentation, Best Questions, Best Demos etc. With your sponsorship, S3 will give financial awards to the student attendees and TPC members, who otherwise may not be able to attend due to financial constraints.
S3 has been held in conjunction with ACM MobiCom, one of the most prestigious conferences in mobile networking, for the past 13 out of 14 years. Previous workshops have attracted over 60 participants, including several ACM MobiCom attendees. Traditionally, the workshop has been sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and industry partners.
