sigcomm-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a project is a strong ACM SIGCOMM fit, choosing the research versus experience track, identifying the networking-stack mechanism at the core of the contribution, and routing misfits to NSDI, MobiCom, CoNEXT, IMC, SIGMETRICS, or a systems venue before writing begins.

# SIGCOMM Topic Selection

Use this before writing, and before committing the single yearly deadline. SIGCOMM is the
broad networking flagship: it rewards a contribution to the design, measurement, or analysis
of networks and communication systems that is stated as a **mechanism or architecture** and
proven under **realistic conditions**. Reopen the current CFP's topic list before final
routing — emphasis drifts between editions.

## Fit test

- Prefer SIGCOMM when the contribution is a networking-stack idea — a protocol, transport or
  congestion mechanism, routing or forwarding architecture, data-center or wide-area fabric,
  programmable-data-plane technique, network measurement result, or systems-for-networking
  design — with evaluation on a testbed, trace, or deployment.
