Title:
ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM)
Description:
The ACM SIGCOMM 2025 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions or significant deployment experiences in communication networks and networked systems. SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking which includes (but is not limited to):
- All types of computer networks, including mobile, wide-area, data center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks.
- All types of wired and wireless technologies, including optics, radio, acoustic, and visible light-based communication.
- All aspects of networks and networked systems, such as network architecture, packet-switched and circuit-switched hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption and environmental impact, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics, evolution, and interactions with applications.
- All parts of the network life cycle, including planning, designing, building, operating, troubleshooting, migrations, and end-of-life.
- All approaches and techniques, including theory, analysis, experimentation, and AI/machine learning.
SIGCOMM 2025 will accept submissions in two tracks: research and experience.
Strong research track submissions will significantly advance the state of the art in networking by, for instance, proposing and developing novel ideas or by rigorously evaluating or re-evaluating existing ideas. Strong experience track submissions will present key insights found in the course of executing deployments of networking techniques, especially in settings that most in the community cannot duplicate (for instance, for reasons of scale). Survey and tutorial papers are out of scope.
