SIGMETRICS Skills
A 12-skill depth pack for ACM SIGMETRICS submissions published in POMACS (Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems): venue routing among the performance-evaluation venues, the three-cycles-per-year rolling deadlines (summer/fall/winter), the hybrid conference-journal review with its one-shot revision and mandatory shepherding, double-anonymous acmsmall submission, th
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Sigmetrics Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when planning an ACM SIGMETRICS project timeline across the three rolling deadlines (summer/fall/winter), from venue fit through abstract registration, submission, shepherding, the one-shot revision round, POMACS publication, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for a performance-evaluation paper and honest handling of the rolling-deadline cadence and the 12-month resubmission bar.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when auditing an ACM SIGMETRICS submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the choice among the three rolling deadlines (summer/fall/winter), the separate abstract-registration step, the 20-page single-column acmsmall budget plus unlimited references, double-anonymous review (and the Operational Systems Track exception), track selection, POMACS publication, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Experiments · brycewang-stanfordUse when designing or auditing ACM SIGMETRICS evaluations, covering theorem-plus-validation rigor, stating and testing modeling assumptions, analysis-vs-simulation agreement, real workloads and traces, fairly tuned baselines, statistics and confidence intervals for stochastic systems, learning guarantees, measurement provenance, and matching evidence to the shape of each performance claim.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Camera Ready · brycewang-stanfordUse when preparing an accepted ACM SIGMETRICS paper for its POMACS camera-ready, covering de-anonymization, the acmsmall template and POMACS journal metadata (DOI, ORCID, CCS concepts), incorporating the shepherd's required changes without scope creep, permanentizing artifact links, and the ACM artifact-badge handoff.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Related Work · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning an ACM SIGMETRICS submission against the performance-evaluation literature across SIGMETRICS/POMACS, Performance Evaluation, QUESTA, TON, and the systems/learning/measurement neighbors (NSDI/OSDI, IMC, NeurIPS/ICML), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent and prior-version overlap.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding what belongs in an ACM SIGMETRICS paper body versus its appendices and anonymized artifact, covering the 20-page single-column acmsmall budget, the rule that decision-critical claims (theorem statements, assumptions, headline validation) stay inside the reviewed pages, full proofs in appendices, double-anonymous supplementary material, and how to split a proof-plus-measurement paper.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when revising an ACM SIGMETRICS paper for a rigorously stated performance contribution on the first page, explicit modeling assumptions and their validity, theorems paired with numerical/empirical validation, evidence proportional to the claim, double-anonymous wording, and disciplined use of the 20-page single-column acmsmall budget.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 Author Response · brycewang-stanfordUse when responding to ACM SIGMETRICS reviews, covering any initial rebuttal and — distinctively — the one-shot revision response letter that must map every item on the reviewers' required-changes list to a concrete change in the revised POMACS paper, resubmitted to a subsequent rolling deadline and re-reviewed once by the original reviewers under double-anonymity.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Reproducibility · brycewang-stanfordUse when strengthening ACM SIGMETRICS reproducibility, covering proofs and their assumptions as reproducible artifacts, seeded simulators whose figures regenerate and match the analysis, measurement/trace provenance, claim-to-evidence mapping, honest degrees of reproducibility, and consistency between what the paper proves/measures and what the artifact contains.
- ▌ Sigmetrics Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a computer-systems performance project belongs at ACM SIGMETRICS or should be routed to IMC, SIGCOMM/NSDI/OSDI, INFOCOM, a learning venue (NeurIPS/ICML), or a performance journal (Performance Evaluation/TON/QUESTA), and when picking the right SIGMETRICS track (Theory / Measurement & Applied Modeling / Learning / Operational Systems).
- ▌ Sigmetrics Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanfordUse when packaging an ACM SIGMETRICS artifact for the ACM Artifact Review and Badging scheme (Artifacts Available, Evaluated Functional and Reusable, Results Reproduced), covering what performance-evaluation evaluators check first (does the simulation regenerate the figures and match the analysis?), DOI-issuing archives, evaluator-proof documentation, and confirming whether an artifact track runs this cycle.
