ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication — 2026

About SIGCOMM

The ACM SIGCOMM Conference on Data Communication is one of the most influential venues in computer networking research. It focuses on the design, analysis, measurement, and implementation of network protocols and systems. Topics include Internet architecture, congestion control, network security, wireless and mobile networking, data center networks, and emerging networked applications. The conference emphasizes rigorous evaluation and real world relevance.

Who Should Attend

SIGCOMM is ideal for networking researchers, systems engineers, protocol designers, and industry practitioners working on Internet scale communication systems. Attendees engage with cutting edge research, in depth technical discussions, and insights that shape the future of global networks.

Who Should Submit Papers

Authors developing new networking architectures, protocols, measurement techniques, or systems should submit to SIGCOMM. Papers that combine strong theoretical insight with large scale experimentation or deployment experience are especially encouraged.
