What it does

Ipsn Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how an IPSN-lineage submission is evaluated, covering double-blind review, the per-track (IP / SPOTS) program committees, the rebuttal, Best Paper and Best Research Artifact judging, and how IPSN's process differs from SenSys's revision model, OpenReview venues, and CPS-IoT Week neighbors.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reasoning about how an IPSN-lineage submission is evaluated
  • Covering double-blind review
  • The per-track (IP / SPOTS) program committees
  • Best Paper and Best Research Artifact judging

Example prompts

  • “s process differs from SenSys”
  • “/ipsn-review-process”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ipsn Review Process loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 652 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when reasoning about how an IPSN-lineage submission is evaluated, covering double-blind review, the per-track (IP / SPOTS) program committees, the rebuttal, Best Paper and Best Research Artifact judging, and how IPSN's process differs from SenSys's revision model, OpenReview venues, and CPS-IoT Week neighbors.

IPSN Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. IPSN's process is double-blind, per-track, and conference-style (not journal-style): a submission is read by a program committee matched to its track — IP or SPOTS — and returns an accept/reject decision, usually with a rebuttal opportunity. Because IPSN merged into SenSys, confirm the successor's exact mechanics on the current call; the structure below is the IPSN-lineage model and what to expect.

Process model

  • Submission and review run on HotCRP with double-blind anonymity: author identities are hidden from reviewers and reviewer identities from authors.
  • Papers are matched to reviewers by track. An IP-track paper is read by method reviewers (estimation, signal processing, learning, localization); a SPOTS-track paper by platform/systems reviewers (hardware, embedded software, tools, deployment). This is why the track choice in ipsn-submission matters so much.
  • Reviewers weigh: the soundness of the information-processing method or platform design; whether the evidence is real (real sensors, ground truth, measured energy/latency, honest deployment numbers); novelty against the sensing literature; and reproducibility / artifact support.
  • A rebuttal typically lets authors correct factual misreadings before the decision (verify the window and format on the current call).
  • Accepted papers appeared in both ACM DL and IEEE Xplore; the successor publishes regular papers in the ACM proceedings and demos/posters in the IEEE proceedings.

What each track's reviewers check first

TrackReviewer's first questionCommon reject trigger
IPIs the estimator/inference sound, and is the baseline fair?Simulation-only, or a proxy metric standing in for the real sensing outcome
SPOTSIs the platform/tool reusable, and are the design trade-offs measured?A one-off build with a datasheet but no measured power/robustness story
Either (deployment)Are the real-world hardships reported honestly?Yield, synchronization, and energy numbers missing or idealized

Reading a decision against the criteria

Signal in the reviewsWhat it meansAuthor move
"Only simulated / no real hardware"Evidence-realism doubt (fatal at IPSN)If possible add a real-sensor result in rebuttal; otherwise reroute
"Baseline is not a real alternative / untuned"Soundness doubtAdd or justify a fair baseline; report the comparison
"Deployment numbers look idealized"Honesty/realism doubtReport yield, sync error, energy as measured, with limits
"Artifact would strengthen this"Reproducibility gapCommit to (and anonymize) a firmware+dataset artifact
"Wrong track / out of scope"Track or venue mismatchHard to fix in rebuttal; a ipsn-topic-selection lesson for next time

How IPSN differs from its neighbors and successor

  • vs. SenSys (pre-merger): SenSys is the sibling embedded-networked-sensing flagship; IPSN's distinctive move was the IP/SPOTS split and its information-processing/estimation flavor. Post-merger the two communities share one venue — but an IP-track style paper is still judged on its estimation/inference soundness.
  • vs. OpenReview ML venues: IPSN is not open-review, not score-thread public, and not leaderboard-driven. Offline accuracy on a clean dataset does not carry a paper here; on-device or in-field evidence does.
  • vs. CPS-IoT Week neighbors (RTAS/HSCC/ICCPS): those reviewers want timing guarantees, control theory, or hybrid-systems verification. An IPSN paper is judged on sensing/information-processing soundness and real measurement, not worst-case schedulability.

Where author leverage actually exists

text
[Before submission]  track choice + topic tags -> reviewer pool           (largest lever)
[Initial reviews]    factual corrections, a real-hardware number a reviewer said was missing
[Rebuttal]           narrow, evidence-backed answers to soundness/realism doubts
[After reject]       no journal-style guaranteed revision round; reroute or resubmit next cycle

A rebuttal moves borderline papers when it corrects a misread table or supplies a measured number a reviewer flagged; it does not move papers that argue taste or promise experiments not yet run.

Best Paper and Best Research Artifact judging

IPSN gave a Best Paper Award and a Best Research Artifact Award. The artifact award is a distinct incentive: a firmware+dataset package that an evaluator can actually run and reuse is judged on more than the paper's claims. Target it deliberately (ipsn-artifact-evaluation) — verify whether it persists under the successor (待核实).

Misreadings to avoid

  • Expecting a journal-style Major Revision — IPSN is conference-style accept/reject with a rebuttal, not a guaranteed revise-and-resubmit round (unlike a journal or a Major-Revision venue).
  • Treating the rebuttal as a debate — the PC discussion decides; the rebuttal is evidence for an advocate, not a closing argument.
  • Assuming the successor keeps IPSN's exact mechanics — the merged SenSys may differ; confirm.

Output format

text
[Process stage] pre-submission / awaiting reviews / rebuttal / decision / accepted
[Track] IP / SPOTS (or successor category)
[Criterion map] each review point -> soundness | evidence-realism | novelty | reproducibility | track-fit
[Leverage plan] the next-stage action that can actually change the outcome
[Forbidden moves] identity leak / unrun experiments promised as done / arguing taste
