Although PAM traditionally attracts early stage contributions, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM’s scope. PAM 2025 will be held virtually.

Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under 
submission to any other venue. 
PAM welcomes both short and long submissions. This includes early-stage contributions of work that is less mature but shows exciting promise, articulates a high-level vision, and describes challenging future directions for the community or validates, verifies important results, or presents new ideas that challenge existing assumptions. 
Submissions should describe original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. We will consider paper submissions that extend previously published short, or preliminary papers (including PAM short papers), following the model of the ACM SIGCOMM policy.

PAM 2025 will trial a new Replicability and Reproducibility Track for submissions that aim to reproduce or replicate results that have been previously published at PAM, TMA, IMC or the measurements track at SIGCOMM, CoNEXT, SIGMETRICS or other networking conferences. For the definitions of replicability and reproducibility, please see <a href="https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-and-badging-current">ACM’s site</a>.
It is expected that a paper in this track explicitly explains the following:
<ul>
<li>Which paper the authors aim to replicate/reproduce.</li>
<li>Whether the paper will be replicated or reproduced.</li>
<li>What the PAM community stands to learn from the replication or reproduction.</li>
</ul>
Authors must clearly mark a replicability/reproducibility paper in HotCRP as such and must include a full citation of the work(s) the paper aims to replicate or reproduce.
Papers in this track should offer comparisons and analysis to the systems, settings, and data used in the work they replicate.
As described in similar replication tracks (e.g., USENIX SOUPS), replication papers:
<ul>
<li>Will be held to the same technical standards as other submissions,</li>
<li>Should use up to date methodologies and avoid using outdated techniques only because they appeared in previous studies,</li>
<li>May repeat procedures of existing studies, or explore their extensibility,</li>
<li>And should provide an explanation of the value of performing a replication study.</li>
</ul>
Submissions will be assessed by the PAM TPC and must conform to the same criteria and rules as full submissions on the main track.

All submissions must satisfy the following requirements
<ul>
<li>Follow <a href="https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines">Springer LNCS</a> format</li>
<li>Short papers: Up to 11 pages for technical content (up to 5 pages for appendices and references)</li>
<li>Long papers: Up to 24 pages for technical content (up to 5 pages for appendices and references)</li>
<li>Note that reviewers are not required to read appendices. Everything needed to evaluate the paper should appear in the first 11 pages for short and 24 pages for long papers. 
	 </li>
</ul>
Anonymization: Reviewing will be double-blind
<ul>
<li>Do not include names or affiliations of authors in the submission.</li>
<li>Refer to your prior work in the third person.</li>
<li>Make a best effort to anonymize system names that would give you away.</li>
<li>If you have any concerns about how to anonymize your paper while maintaining its integrity, contact the PC chairs.</li>
</ul>

Submit via HotCRP

Ethics will be considered during the review process. Each paper must include a statement detailing the ethical considerations of the work. If the authors believe the submission does not raise ethical concerns, authors must indicate so in a short statement that is clearly marked in the paper. The ethical considerations sections should either be included as a clearly marked appendix (entitled “Ethical considerations”) or a clearly marked section in the main body of the paper.

Papers describing experiments with users or sensitive user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), and risk mitigation.
Authors may want to consult the <a href="https://catalog.caida.org/paper/2012_menlo_report_actual_formatted">Menlo Report</a> for further information on ethical principles and <a href="https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf">the Allman/Paxson IMC 2007</a> paper for guidance on ethical data 
sharing. 
Note that submitting research for approval by each author’s institutional ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient – in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will consider the ethical soundness and justification of any paper, just as it does its technical soundness. Authors unsure about ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. If work has been submitted to an IRB or ethics committee, the ethical considerations section or appendix should clearly indicate this and - if available - must include the reference number of the IRB/ethics committee approval.

There will be two awards for papers of exceptional merit. The Best Paper Award will recognize the paper that is deemed by the committee to have the highest merit of all the submissions. 
The Community Contribution Award will be given to the best paper that makes relevant datasets, source code, or platforms available to the public by the time the camera-ready is submitted.
These artifacts must be sufficiently documented such that any researcher can use them to repeat the results or procedures described in the paper, and they must be placed in a sufficiently long-lived archival repository (e.g.,Github, Bitbucket, or CRAWDAD).
