=================================================
2024 ACM SIGMETRICS / IFIP Performance Conference
=================================================

June 10-14, 2024
Venice, Italy

https://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2024/


Overview
========

We solicit papers on the development and application of
state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation and
measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. The conference
provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing
ideas that further our knowledge and understanding of the measurement,
modeling, analysis, and design of computing systems and networks. Of
particular interest is work that presents new performance evaluation
methods, or that creatively applies previously developed methods to make
predictions about, or gain insights into, key design trade-offs in a
variety of computing, networked, and cyber-physical systems, ranging
from mobile devices and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications to
large-scale cloud computing systems and the smart grid.

The conference presents papers that have been accepted to appear in the
Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems
(POMACS). There are multiple deadlines to submit your work in time for a
presentation at the conference (see below). A panel of reviewers will
consider all accepted and eligible papers for the Best Paper Award and
the Stephen S. Lavenberg and Kenneth C. Sevcik Outstanding Student Paper
Award. Additionally, a selection of the accepted papers, as identified
by a panel of reviewers, may be nominated for publication as Research
Highlights in the Communications of the ACM (CACM).

Deadlines are hard and at 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth).

Papers may be submitted to any deadline and, upon acceptance, papers
will be scheduled for publication in the Proceedings of the ACM on
Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems (POMACS,
http://pomacs.acm.org) and presentation at the ACM SIGMETRICS / IFIP
Performance 2024 conference. The journal publication of accepted
papers will appear in the issue of POMACS immediately following
acceptance; i.e., papers that are accepted for the Summer and Fall
deadlines will appear in POMACS before the conference.
