The ACM Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems (POMACS) focuses on the measurement and performance evaluation of computer systems and operates in close collaboration with the ACM Special Interest Group SIGMETRICS. All papers in this issue of POMACS will be presented during the ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2022 conference. The issue contains papers selected by the editorial board via a rigorous review process that follows a hybrid conference and journal model, with reviews conducted by the 93 members of our POMACS editorial board. Each paper was either conditionally accepted (and shepherded), allowed a "one-shot" revision (to be resubmitted to one of the subsequent two deadlines), or rejected (with resubmission allowed after a year). For this issue, which represents the summer deadline, POMACS publishes 17 papers out of 71 submissions. All submitted papers received at least 3 reviews and we held an online TPC meeting. Based on the indicated primary track, roughly 37% of the submissions were in the Theory track, 30% were in the Measurement & Applied Modeling track, 20% were in the Systems track, and 14% were in the Learning track. Many people contributed to the success of this issue of POMACS. First, we would like to thank the authors, who submitted their best work to SIGMETRICS/POMACS. Second, we would like to thank the TPC members who provided constructive feedback in their reviews to authors and participated in the online discussions and TPC meetings. We also thank the several external reviewers who provided their expert opinion on specific submissions that required additional input. We are also grateful to the SIGMETRICS Board Chair, Giuliano Casale, and to past TPC Chairs, Anshul Gandhi, Negar Kiyavash, and Jia Wang, who provided a wealth of information and guidance (including a template for writing this editorial note!). Finally, we are grateful to the Organization Committee and to the SIGMETRICS Board for their ongoing efforts and initiatives for creating an exciting program for ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2022.

The ACM Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems (POMACS) focuses on the measurement and performance evaluation of computer systems and operates in close collaboration with the ACM Special Interest Group SIGMETRICS. All papers in the last three (i.e., this one and the previous two) issues of POMACS will be presented during the ACM SIGMETRICS 2021 virtual conference. Each of the three issues (one per call for papers) contains papers selected by the editorial board via a rigorous review process that follows a hybrid conference and journal model, with reviews conducted by the 86 members of our POMACS editorial board. Each paper was either conditionally accepted (and shepherded), allowed a "one-shot" revision (to be resubmitted to one of the subsequent two deadlines), or rejected (with resubmission allowed after a year). Over the three issues during which we have served as editors, POMACS has published 35 papers out of 315 submissions (84 to the Summer call, 107 to the Fall call, and 124 to the Winter call). All submitted papers received at least 3 reviews and we held an online TPC meeting for each deadline/issue. Based on the indicated primary track, roughly 16% of the submissions were in the Learning track, 29% were in the Measurement & Applied Modeling track, 26% were in the Systems track, and 29% were in the Theory track. Many people contributed to the success of POMACS over the last year. First, we would like to thank the authors, who submitted their best work to SIGMETRICS/POMACS. Second, we would like to thank the TPC members who provided constructive feedback in their reviews to authors and participated in the online discussions and TPC meetings. We also thank the several external reviewers who provided their expert opinion on specific submissions that required additional input. We are also grateful to the SIGMETRICS Board Chair, Giuliano Casale, and to past TPC Chairs, Athina Markopoulou and Y. C. Tay, who provided a wealth of information and guidance. We also thank Adam Wierman for outlining the soft tracking guidelines that were adopted for SIGMETRICS 2021. Finally, we are grateful to the Organization Committee and to the SIGMETRICS Board for their efforts and initiatives in the middle of a pandemic, including making papers and videos available online and enabling online interactions.

Welcome to Issue 2 of DFI’s Journal Vol. 15. We are happy to introduce six publications which span a wide mix of manuscript types and technical content. While most published papers in the DFI Journal have historically been research papers and technical case histories, this issue introduces a forum paper and a book review in addition to valuable research publications. Forum papers, a new type of paper to the DFI Journal, encompass a much shorter manuscript style, and can include commentaries, opinions, research highlights (e.g., of work currently underway), and responses to previously published papers. Forum papers do not require a response from the author if they discuss another author’s manuscript. However, should the forum paper be closer to a discussion, and should the author of the discussed manuscript desire to provide a response, the submission will be converted into a formal “discussion.” Forum papers and book reviews first undergo a review within the editorial board, and are only subject to external peer review if the content is found to be technically controversial and/or should the area of expertise discussed in the manuscript lie outside the capacities of the editorial board. Hence the Forum Paper is a unique outlet with much technical and editorial flexibility and will, along with the newly introduced book review, enrich the palette of products offered by the DFI Journal.

With the publication of this issue my period as editor of TRI comes to an end. I was fortunate in being able to inherit from my predecessor, Brian Singleton, a flourishing academic journal that had attained a reputation for academic excellence combined with a broad international perspective. I am often asked to define TRI in comparison to other affined periodicals. This is a difficult but nonetheless important question, not only for the editorial board but also for potential authors. If we look at the policy statement (on the inside back cover) then we find a very broad remit: ‘articles on theatre practices in their social, cultural, and historical contexts’ but also, and perhaps more particularly, a desire to reflect ‘the evolving diversity of critical idioms prevalent in the scholarship of differing world contexts’. The last three words are perhaps the most important in respect to the journal's specific focus. TRI is dedicated to reflecting theatre and performance internationally; it gives special preference to articles outside the usual Euro-American mainstream. In this sense the journal aims to reflect the diversity of the membership of the International Federation for Theatre Research/Fédération internationale pour la recherche théâtrale. It is not, however, a mouthpiece of the organization or any of its constituent bodies. Editorial independence is essential for the functioning of any peer-reviewed journal lest it be seen as catering to interest groups or persons whose political prowess may far exceed their scholarly standing.

This issue marks the departure of the longest-serving of the current editors of Geological Magazine, Dr Chris Hughes, and his replacement by Dr Tim Palmer (University of Wales, Aberystwyth). The Geological Magazine has always had a strong content of palaeontology and biostratigraphy, and Chris Hughes has efficiently maintained the quality of these contributions since 1973. He is moving on from his lectureship in the Cambridge Earth Sciences Department to head the Associated Examining Board, based in Guildford. The other editors thank him warmly for his experienced guidance over the past 24 years and wish him success in his new post.The editors welcome Tim Palmer, whose appointment from outside the Cambridge department represents a significant and deliberate departure from custom. Some 13 years ago, the Magazine broadened its editorial advice in a major way by appointing an Editorial Board, most of whose members have come not just from outside Cambridge, but from beyond the UK. Our new editorial appointment signals an extension of this same policy.An important advantage of having all the Magazine's editors under one roof has been the efficiency and speed of communicating with each other. However, with the Cambridge editors now talking to each other as much by Email as face-to-face, geographical proximity has become a less crucial asset. The spread of Email is changing many other aspects of the editorial practice and the Geological Magazine office, run by Jane Holland, is now on-line at [email protected]. The editors now encourage the use of Email for all business except for submission of manuscripts, and in particular for contributors' queries and for referees' reports.
