Use when reasoning about how an ACM SIGMETRICS submission is evaluated, covering the hybrid conference-journal model, double-anonymous review, the three first-round outcomes (Accept-with-shepherding / One-Shot Revision / Reject), the one-shot revision resubmitted to a subsequent rolling deadline, the 12-month resubmission bar, and how SIGMETRICS differs from IMC, SIGCOMM, and NSDI.

# SIGMETRICS Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. SIGMETRICS's process is a **hybrid of the
conference and journal models**: papers are POMACS articles, and the first-round decision is one of
**three** outcomes, not a binary accept/reject. The most consequential mental shift for authors
arriving from a plain conference is that **One-Shot Revision** is a real revise-and-resubmit round —
but, unlike an open-ended journal R&R, it is **single-shot** and re-reviewed against an explicit
list of required changes.

## Process model

- Submission and review run on **HotCRP**, one site per rolling deadline, with **double-anonymous**
  review (the Operational Systems Track may reveal the deploying org/system).
- Reviewers weigh the **rigor of the model or measurement**, the **correctness of proofs**, the
