According to the ACM, the ACM SIGMETRICS Rising Star Research Award is given annually to recognize a rising star in our community who demonstrates outstanding potential for research in the field of computer and communication performance. The selection is based on the impact of the candidate's work in the field in creating promising new ideas, paradigms, and tools related to the performance analysis of computer and communication systems, which may be analytical or empirical in nature. Depth and impact are valued over breadth of contribution for this award.

The recipient of the ACM SIGMETRICS Rising Star Research award is selected by a committee consisting of five individuals appointed by the SIGMETRICS Executive Committee. The award includes a plaque and a $1500 honorarium or expenses for travel to attend the conference where the award is presented. This year’s conference took place in Mumbai, India earlier this month.
