Preface
We are excited to present the proceedings of the 19th annual Passive and Active
Measurement(PAM)conference.Thisyear,PAMwasheldinBerlin,Germany,during
March26–27.Afteralmosttwodecades,PAMcontinuestoprovideanimportantvenue
for emerging and early-stage research in network measurement – work that seeks to
better understand complex, real-world networked systems in the wild and to provide
critical empirical foundations and support to network research.
This year’s proceedings demonstrate the import and extent to which measurements
pervade systems – from protocols to performance to security. In total, we received 50
submissions from authors representing 62 unique institutions (17 countries), of which
the Technical Program Committee (TPC) selected 20 for publication. Particular
attention this year was paid to ensuring that the TPC was as broadly representative as
possible, including both junior and senior researchers. We are indebted to this
hard-working TPC that ensured that each paper received at least four reviews, and
carried out a lively (and, in several cases spirited) on-line discussion to arrive at the
final program. TPC members were asked to provide constructive feedback, bearing in
mind PAM’s focus and goals that recognize promising early work. As chairs, we
valued interesting and ambitious submissions that generated discussion and/or dissent
over submissions that received consistently mediocre reviews. To ensure the quality
of the program and equanimity of the presented results, each paper was assigned a
shepherdfromtheTPCwhoreviewedthepaper.Wearedelightedwiththefinalsetof
20 papers and hope the readers find them as valuable and provocative as we do.
We would be remiss not to thank the Steering Committee for help and guidance
while organizing the conference, Hamed Haddadi for publicity, Florian Streibelt for
managing the review system and conference website, and Birgit Hohmeier-Toure for
truly outstanding local support. Last, we thank all of the researchers who make PAM
such an interesting and important conference year after year.
