Distributed systems design, implementation & application
Enterprise, datacenter, and storage area networks
SDN, NFV, and network programming
Experimental results from operational networks or network applications
Measurement of and statistics methods/machine learning/dat mining applied to networks
Network monitoring and diagnosis
Formal methods and network verification
Economic aspects of the Internet
Energy-aware communication
Network management and operations
Network security and privacy, censorship, transparency
Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
Fault-tolerance, reliability, and troubleshooting
Operating system and host support for networking
Novel physical layer technologies
Networking hardware (Router/switch/NIC) design
P2P and content (including video) distribution networks
Cloud and wide-area networking systems & infrastructure
Resource management, QoS, and signaling
Routing, traffic engineering, switching, and addressing
Wireless, mobile, and sensor networks
Edge, access, and home networks
Innovative uses of network data beyond communication
In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2017 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, a travel grant program, and conference best paper(s) and SIGCOMM awards.
