About this congress

ACM SIGCOMM is the flagship annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM). The annual SIGCOMM conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of computer and data communication networks. It covers network architecture, design, implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, and simulation. The conference takes a broad view of networking, including mobile, wide-area, data center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks, as well as wired and wireless technologies (optics, radio, acoustic, visible light-based communication). It addresses all aspects of networks and networked systems, such as network architecture, protocols, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption, security, privacy, economics, and AI/machine learning approaches.
