1. the paper and the MobiDE submission have at least one author in common;
2. the paper is more than 3 pages long, when formatted in the MobiDE format;
3. the main technical content of the paper substantially overlaps that of the MobiDE submission; and
4. the paper is published or under consideration for publication in a refereed journal or proceedings (electronic or printed) that is generally available (e.g., not limited to conference attendees).
