Keynote
Keynote Title: Chance & Necessity: the Rise of Two Stars
Lin Zhong (Professor of Computer Science with Yale University)

Abstract: This talk will tell the stories of two remarkable young members of our community, whom I have had the privilege of knowing intimately. Through their stories, I will share the insights I have gleaned from them with regards to scholarship and mentorship.
Speaker Bio: Lin Zhong is Professor of Computer Science with Yale University. He received his B.S and M.S. from Tsinghua University and Ph.D. from Princeton University. From 2005 to 2019, he was with Rice University. At Yale, he leads the Efficient Computing Lab to make computing, communication, and interfacing more efficient and effective. He and his students received the best paper awards from ACM MobileHCI, IEEE PerCom, and ACM MobiSys (3), and ACM ASPLOS. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the Duncan Award from Rice University, the RockStar Award (2014) and Test of Time Award (2022) from ACM SIGMOBILE. He is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM.

Welcome to Rising Stars Forum
ACM MobiSys 2023 is proud to host the Rising Stars Forum, aimed at early career researchers, including early-stage postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. student, conducting research on any aspects of mobile computing, applications, and services. The forum will offer:
- A constructive environment for the Rising Stars to discuss their ongoing work with a panel of experienced researchers in the field.
- An opportunity to initiate a personal network with other Rising Stars and leading experts outside of their own research groups.
The forum will also include a panel. The panelists will also offer their experience and advice on how to carry out a successful research and start a career as a researcher. The forum will be structured as a series of short presentations, followed by individual discussions and feedback. Interested participants should submit a 2-page extended abstract of their work. The accepted extended abstracts will be posted on the official conference website and will be included in the conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.
At the forum, the chairs will invite several senior researchers from the community to serve as a mentoring committee and provide comments to the presentation of the accepted extended abstracts. The best presenters selected by the mentoring committee during the Rising Stars Forum will be invited to present their work at a separate session of the MobiSys’23 main conference on June 20th, 2023.
