+    \item \textbf{Automatic Tuning of Insertion Rejection Rate.} \\
+	The tail latency control system discussed
+	in Chapter~\ref{chap:tail-latency} is based upon setting a
+	rejection rate parameter for inserts, which must be tuned for
+	the data structure being dynamized. The current version treats
+	this as a user-specified constant parameter, but it would be
+	ideal for this parameter to be automatically determined based
+	on the performance of the framework. In particular, we noted in
+	Chapter~\ref{chap:tail-latency} that having it fixed to a single
+	value is sub-optimal for some data structures, and there also
+	exist opportunities to dynamically adjust it based on the actual
+	rate of inserts into the system to achieve better throughput. The
+	design of a system for doing this automatic rejection rate tuning is
+	an important next step for the framework.
