Welcome to Rising Stars Forum
ACM MobiSys 2024 will 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 successful research and start a career as a researcher. The forum will be structured as a series of short in-person 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. The students/postdoc who are selected for presenting at the rising stars forum must attend the forum in-person and the students will receive some priority for travel grants applications. At the forum, the chairs will invite several senior researchers from the community to serve as a mentoring committee and provide comments on 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’24 main conference.

Keynote Title
Research Notes to Myself (Circa 2004)
Speaker: Prabal Dutta

Abstract: Twenty years ago, I started my journey as a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley. At the time, I had no idea where the journey would lead, but I took the first steps because I sensed kindred spirits—unlike any other—among those in the research enterprise. Indeed, academic family trees and larger research communities play a crucial role in providing a social context for—and shaping the direction of—our own research. But was that early sense sufficient to steer the ship through the ages? Of course, not! The journey from fresh Ph.D. student to professor is astonishingly packed with lessons learned (and some relearned). With the benefit of hindsight, if I could telegraph notes to my younger self to make the journey more fulfilling and impactful, what insights might I have shared? If you’re curious, join us to find out!
Bio: Prabal Dutta is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California, Berkeley. Previously, he was a Morris Wellman Faculty Development Professor at the University of Michigan. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and an MS in Electrical Engineering and a BS in Electrical & Computer Engineering, both from The Ohio State University. His research has been recognized with an Okawa Foundation Grant, a Sloan Fellowship, an NSF CAREER Award, a Popular Science Brilliant Ten Award, and an Intel Early Career Award. His work has been recognized with a Test-of-Time Award at SenSys, five Top Pick/Best Paper Awards at MICRO, SenSys, IPSN (2x), and HotEmNets, three Best Paper Nominees at SenSys and IPSN (2x) and numerous demo, design, poster and industry awards, has been directly commercialized by a dozen companies and indirectly by many dozens more, and is on display at Silicon Valley’s Computer History Museum. He has co-founded several startups based on his research including Cubeworks, Gridware, nLine, and Vizi.
