Selecting The 2008 Sigcomm Test-of-time Awardwinner(s)

摘要

SIGCOMM's Test-of-Time Award was established in 2006 to recognize "papers published 10 to 12 years in the past in Computer Communication Review or any SIGCOMM sponsored or co-sponsored conference that is deemed to be an outstanding paper whose contents are still a vibrant and useful contribution today." Last year the three of us were selected to form the committee to pick the 2008 Awardee(s), with Vern Paxson chairing. In a departure from previous years, during which a single paper received the award, for 2008 the award went to a set of three papers:rn1. Internet routing instability, Craig Labovitz, G. Robert Malan, and Farnam Jahanian, Proc. SIGCOMM 1997.rn2. The macroscopic behavior of the TCP congestion avoidance algorithm, Matthew Mathis, Jeffrey Semke, Jamshid Mah-davi, and Teunis Ott, CCR 27(3), 1997.rn3. Modeling TCP throughput: A simple model and its empirical validation, Jitendra Padhye, Victor Firoiu, Don Towsley, and Jim Kurose, Proc. SIGCOMM 1998.
