PACMNET, V1, CoNEXT3, December 2023 Editorial

Abstract

The Proceedings of the ACM on Networking (PACMNET) series present the highest-quality research conducted in the areas of emerging computer networks and their applications. We encourage submissions that present new technologies, novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. The journal is strongly supported by the ACM Special Interest Group on Communications and Computer Networks (SIGCOMM) and involves top-level researchers in its Editorial Board. This issue contains papers submitted for the June '23 deadline. 129 long papers and 19 short papers were submitted to this deadline. 24 of the long papers and 5 of the short papers have been accepted after a rigorous review process organized with 50 Associate Editors and a few external reviewers. After review, each paper was conditionally accepted (with shepherding), allowed a "oneshot- major" revision, or rejected. The review process was split into two rounds. All submissions received at least 3 reviews in the first round. The papers that advanced to the second round received at least two additional reviews. After an online discussion phase among the reviewers, papers were extensively discussed during an online Associate Editors' meeting where the final decisions were made. In case of major revision, the authors have been invited to address the reviewers' comments and prepare a thoroughly revised version of their contribution. Revised papers have been then thoroughly reviewed again before being either accepted or rejected. This issue collects papers that have been finally accepted for publication after going through the minor revision process. The long papers published in this issue and in the two previous ones will be presented at the CoNEXT 2023 conference on December 5-8, in Paris, France together with the short papers that appear in the conference proceedings.
