METRICS

Welcome to the 2020 ACM SIGMETRICS Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems, originally scheduled to be held at the Integrated Science and Engineering Complex on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston, MA, June 8-12, 2020. The conference is the leading research venue in the area of performance analysis of computer systems, and the development of tools and innovative application of tools towards this end.

In response to the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the SIGMETRICS 2020 Organizing Committee and SIGMETRICS Executive Committee decided on April 9 to cancel the physical meeting and move the conference online. Authors of accepted papers were asked to prepare video presentations for their papers, which are made available in the public domain in early June 2020. A live web session on June 9 and virtual interaction options are provided to enhance the experience of the online conference. In addition, the authors are given the option of presenting their SIGMETRICS work at IFIP Performance 2020, or at ACM SIGMETRICS 2021. Two workshops, Mathematical Performance Modeling and Analysis (MAMA) and Distributed Cloud Computing (DCC), take place online on June 8 concurrently with the conference.
