The conference accepts both research and experience papers and continues SIGCOMM's role as a premier forum for networking research.
Topics
According to the official call for papers, SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking, including all types of computer networks (mobile, wide-area, datacenter, embedded, home, and enterprise), all wired and wireless technologies (optics, radio, acoustic, visible-light communication), and all aspects of networked systems such as architecture, packet- and circuit-switched hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy and environmental impact, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics, evolution, and interactions with applications. It also welcomes all parts of the network lifecycle and all approaches including theory, analysis, experimentation, and AI/machine learning for networking.
