WNCG students Wenguang Mao and Mei Wang, along with their advisor, WNCG Professor Lili Qiu, won the “Best Paper” award at this year's ACM MobiSys, which took place over the summer in Munich, Germany. According to the conference website, MobiSys “seeks to present innovative and significant research on all aspects of mobile systems, applications, and services. The conference values technical contributions with working implementations and practical evaluations.” Mao, Wang and Qiu’s paper, titled “AIM: Acoustic Imaging on a Mobile,” was chosen from 40 papers accepted to the conference.

IEEE GLOBECOM is one of two flagship conferences of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), together with IEEE ICC. Each year the conference attracts about 3,000 submitted scientific papers and dozens of proposals for industry events. A technical program committee of more than 1,500 experts provides more than 10,000 reviews, and from this a small fraction of the submitted papers are accepted for publication and presentation at the conference.
