POMACS V8, N1, March 2024 Editorial

The 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 at the ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2024 conference on June 10-14, 2024, in Venice, Italy. These papers have been selected during the Fall submission round by the 93 members of the ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2024 program committee via a rigorous review process. Each paper was conditionally accepted (and shepherded), allowed a "one-shot" revision (to be resubmitted to one of the subsequent two SIGMETRICS/Performance deadlines), or rejected (with re-submission allowed after a year). For this issue, which represents the Fall deadline, POMACS is publishing 18 papers out of 118 submissions, of which 6 had previously received a one-shot revision decision. All submissions received at least 3 reviews and borderline cases were extensively discussed during the online program committee meeting. Based on the indicated track(s), roughly 33% of the submissions were in the Theory track, 47% were in the Measurement & Applied Modeling track, 39% were in the Systems track, and 19% were in the Learning track (papers could be part of more than one track). Many individuals contributed to the success of this issue of POMACS. First, we would like to thank the authors, who submitted their best work to SIGMETRICS/Performance/POMACS. Second, we would like to thank the program committee members who provided constructive feedback in their reviews to authors and participated in the online discussions and program committee meeting. We also thank the several external reviewers who provided their expert opinions on specific submissions that required additional input. We are also grateful to the SIGMETRICS Board Chair, Mor Harchol-Balter, the IFIP Working Group 7.3 Chair, Mark S. Squillante, the previous SIGMETRICS Board Chair, Giuliano Casale, and the past program committee Chairs, Konstantin Avratchenkov, Phillipa Gill, and Bhuvan Urgaonkar, who provided a wealth of information and guidance. 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 2024.
