About

The Proceedings of the ACM on the Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems (POMACS) publishes original research of the highest quality dealing with  performance  of computing systems, broadly construed. It is published three times a year.

We recognize that critical insights into key design trade-offs in computer or network systems have historically been obtained using a broad set of tools: benchmarking and experimental evaluation, mathematical modeling, and algorithmic analysis, which often need to be combined creatively.

This publication hence broadly welcomes works that further the state-of-the-art in determining or predicting the performance of computing systems and their applications. This includes efforts that creatively apply previously developed methods in systems, measurement and theory, and especially those combining results from multiple technical areas.
