Awards

At its annual conference, CMG presents several awards recognizing outstanding contributions to the field of computer measurement and performance evaluation:

• The A. A. Michelson Award, first awarded in 1974, is named in honor of Albert Abraham Michelson, known for his technical accomplishments in measuring the speed of light and for his role as teacher and inspirer of others. This award is given to one honoree annually, to recognize the same combination of technical excellence and professional contributions.

• The J. William Mullen Award, first awarded in 1990, is given in memory of past CMG president Bill Mullen. The award recipient is an individual who exhibits both technical excellence and an engaging presentation style.

• The CMG Graduate Fellowship program, begun in 1987, is open to full-time graduate students in Computer Science and related fields. It is intended to encourage and support research in the areas of measurement, modeling, management and analysis of system and network performance.

• Best Paper Awards are given to conference papers judged exemplary by industry peers.
