POMACS V6, N2, June 2022 Editorial

Abstract

The ACM Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems (POMACS) focuses on the measurement and performance evaluation of computer systems and operates in close collaboration with the ACM Special Interest Group SIGMETRICS. All papers in this issue of POMACS will be presented during the ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2022 conference. The issue contains papers selected by the editorial board via a rigorous review process that follows a hybrid conference and journal model, with reviews conducted by the 101 members of our POMACS editorial board. Each paper was either conditionally accepted (and shepherded), allowed a "one-shot" revision (to be resubmitted to one of the subsequent two deadlines), or rejected (with resubmission allowed after a year). For this issue, which represents the winter deadline, we accepted 17 papers out of 126 submissions (including 4 papers that had been given a "one-shot" revision opportunity). All submitted papers received at least 3 reviews and we held an online TPC meeting. Based on the indicated primary track, roughly 31% of the submissions were in the Measurement & Applied Modeling track, 25% were in the Systems track, 23% were in the Theory track, and 21% were in the Learning track. Many people contributed to the success of this issue of POMACS. First, we would like to thank the authors, who submitted their work to SIGMETRICS/POMACS. Second, we would like to thank the TPC members for their work: constructive feedback in their reviews to authors, participation to online discussions and also to TPC meetings. We also thank several external reviewers who provided their expert opinion on specific submissions that required additional input. We are also grateful to the SIGMETRICS Board Chair, Giuliano Casale, and to past TPC Chairs. Finally, we are grateful to the Organization Committee and to the SIGMETRICS Board for their ongoing efforts and initiatives for creating an exciting program for ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2022.
