Prof. Vishal Misra elected to Board of Directors for ACM SIGMETRICS
07/11/2007
Prof. Vishal Misra was elected as one of the members of the board of directors of ACM SIGMETRICS. SIGMETRICS is the ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) for the computer and communication system performance community.
"Besides being the rockin'est ACM SIG, it is also widely revered as the most universal. Go ahead, try naming any SIG at all that isn't obsessed with performance. (No fair picking on SIGART, "The Art of AI." Just because they're decades late in delivering on their promises of functionality doesn't mean they wouldn't be talking performance if they could.)"
SIGMETRICS promotes research in performance analysis techniques as well as the advanced and innovative use of known methods and tools. It sponsors conferences, such as its own annual conference (SIGMETRICS), publishes a newsletter (Performance Evaluation Review), and operates a network bulletin board and web site.
