Welcome

SIGCOMM is ACM's professional forum for discussing communications and computer networks.

SIGCOMM members include scientists, engineers, educators and students. They study all aspects of computer communications and networks: analysis, technical design, engineering, measurement and management. Our members are particularly interested in the systems engineering and architectural questions surrounding computer communication.

SIGCOMM supports a wide variety of activities in the field:

Professional meetings

Publications

Recognition and support for computer networking professionals

Resources for the community
