Editorial introduction

摘要

The five papers in this special issue are based on a selection of top theoretical papers from the ACM SIGMETRICS International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems, which took place at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, in June 2013. As the premier conference on the measurement and modeling of computer systems, the technical program featured papers that covered both theory and applications from a wide variety of areas, including algorithms, communication networks, dynamics and control, optimization, performance analysis, resource allocation and scheduling, and stochastic modeling, among others. The program consisted of 26 papers selected from nearly 200 international submissions by a technical program committee of well-established researchers from all over the world.
