SIGMETRICS Topic & Venue Selection
Guides venue routing and track selection for computer-systems performance research targeting ACM SIGMETRICS and sibling conferences.
The SIGMETRICS Topic Selection skill helps academic researchers determine whether their computer systems performance project belongs at ACM SIGMETRICS (POMACS) or should be routed to sibling venues like NSDI, OSDI, IMC, SIGCOMM, NeurIPS, or specialized journals. It provides systematic rigor checks, sibling-venue routing tables, and track-selection guidelines across Theory, Measurement & Applied Modeling, Learning, and Operational Systems tracks to ensure submissions align with reviewer expectations and venue scope.
