IMC

Welcome to the 6^th ACM Internet Measurement Conference, sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and in cooperation with USENIX.This year's conference continues IMC's tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results on measurement and empirical study of Internet structure and behavior. The technical program this year features a set of outstanding papers from a variety of areas including traffic measurement, latency measurement, sampling techniques, pattern matching, security, and anomaly detection.The call for papers this year attracted 155 submissions from Asia, Europe, Australia, South and North America. The program committee along with a selected group of outside experts carefully considered all of the submissions with a total of 494 detailed reviews submitted. After a very positive TPC meeting, the committee assembled a wonderful program by selecting 34 papers (including 19 full papers and 15 short papers) for this year's conference. Following the TPC meeting, a subcommittee had the pleasure of selecting a paper for Best Paper Award. For the first time at IMC, in order to be eligible for award consideration, authors had to indicate that they would make their data sets openly available to the community. The subcommittee selected the paper "A Measurement-based Deployment Proposal for IP Anycast" by Hitesh Ballani, Paul Francis, and Sylvia Ratnasamy. Congratulations to the authors.
