["K. Pawlikowski" <krys@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz>]

FIRST ACM SIGMETRICS ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The first ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award will be presented at
the ACM SIGMETRICS 2002 conference, June 17, 2002, in Marina del Rey,
California. This Call for Nominations is available at
http://www.sigmetrics.org/. 

The ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award is given every 2 years by
the ACM Special Interest Group on Measurement and Evaluation
(SIGMETRICS),
to an individual who has made long-lasting influential contributions
to the theory or practice of computer/communication system performance
evaluation.  The contributions may be theoretical advances that have
influenced the techniques used to evaluate computer system performance,
techniques or software tools that have been widely used to evaluate
system
performance, or innovative applications of performance evaluation
techniques
that have had impact on the design of computer/communication systems.

In selecting the achievement award recipient, the Awards Committee will
place particular emphasis on seminal contributions and a sustained
record
of high-impact in the field.

The award includes a plaque, a $2000 award, as well as expenses
for travel to the ACM SIGMETRICS annual conference, where the
award is presented.  The recipient is also invited to give a
technical talk at the conference.
