September 2015 SIGCOMM Newsletter
Dear SIGCOMM Community Members,
Last month over 600 members of the community gathered in London for SIGCOMM 2015, with a packed program of papers, posters, research demos, industrial demos, workshops, tutorials, preview talks, N2Women meetup, community meetings, projects meetings, mentoring, and, most importantly, social events. On behalf of the organising committee, I wish to thank all who helped with organisation and  those who attended, and I really hope you all had a great time! For those who couldn’t make it, video recordings of the conference talks for each paper will soon appear in ACM DL.
Here is the news for this month:

1. The Symposium on SDN Research (SOSR) is the premiere venue for research publications on SDN, building on past years' successful SOSR and HotSDN (Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking) workshops. This year, SOSR will be co-located with the Open Networking Summit (ONS) and the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI'16), providing greater opportunity for industry and academia to jointly explore and debate recent developments related to all aspects of SDN.  http://opennetsummit.org/conference/
