The #CMG2015 conference was an overwhelming success. I have not been able to find a paper that would not be interesting, and all presentations were engaging, enlightening, and deep. Not only was it a breath of fresh air - it always is that! - but also it was a great opportunity to learn and to network with the world's best IT Performance and Capacity experts.
The level of academic rigor and practical expertise at CMG Conferences is huge and growing. It is not a trade show, and it is not a purely academic event, but something unique, and I really hope that it will continue in this direction: this way, CMG will grow in numbers while upholding its reputation as the only organization of IT professionals where academic knowledge and technical expertise have united to form this unique alloy that has been attracting us to keep coming to CMG Conferences again and again.
Our paper, "Percentile-Based Approach to Forecasting Workload Growth", has got a lot of good attention too, and I received the prestigious Mullen Award for presenting it!
Thank you, CMG! I really hope to see you all in La Jolla at CMG2016!
