Abstract
ACM SIGCOMM has been a major research forum for fifty years and has had a major impact on the history of the Internet. On the 50th anniversary of SIGCOMM, we reflect upon its progress and achievements through the lens of its publication outlets — the SIGCOMM conference, IMC, CoNEXT, HotNets — and explore trends in co-authorship, country-based productivity, and knowledge flow to and from SIGCOMM venues using bibliometric techniques.
