About the Conference
The 2027 Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) continues a long-running series dedicated to the measurement and analysis of the Internet. Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, this 27th edition brings together researchers, practitioners, and academics for four days of technical presentations and discussion, plus a dedicated workshop day. The conference is held in person in Atlanta, Georgia.
Research Focus and Paper Process
IMC centers on peer-reviewed research papers covering Internet measurement, network analysis, data collection methodologies, replicability in research, and advances in Internet infrastructure and protocols. The submission process includes multiple deadlines, a rebuttal phase allowing authors to address reviewer feedback, and an optional one-shot-revision process intended to improve paper quality while providing scheduling flexibility for authors.
Who Should Attend
The conference serves researchers, academics, network engineers, data scientists, and graduate students working in computer networking and Internet infrastructure. Attendees typically include research scientists, professors, PhD students, data analysts, and technical leads from universities, research institutions, technology companies, and network service providers. The event addresses challenges in accurate Internet measurement, reproducibility of research findings, and methodological rigor in network analysis.
