Hi everybody,
we now also open the submission for the next ACM/IRTF Applied Networking
Research Workshop 2020 (ANRW’20) at IETF-107 in Madrid. Submission deadline is
April 10, 2020. So still plenty of time!
Please help distributing the Call for Papers below and/or consider submitting a
paper yourself!
Thanks!

Call for Papers
ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop 2020 (ANRW’20)
Monday, July 27, 2020, co-located with IETF 108 in Madrid
https://irtf.org/anrw/2020/cfp.html
The ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop 2020 (ANRW’20) is the fifth
edition of an academic workshop that provides a forum for researchers, vendors,
network operators, and the Internet standards community to present and discuss
emerging results in applied networking research.
ANRW’20 is co-located with IETF 108, which takes place in Madrid from July
25-31, 2020. ANRW’20 will take place on Monday, July 27, and is an all-day
event. This gives IETF as well as workshop attendees the opportunity to
exchange ideas on topics and open problems discussed at the workshop and the
IETF.
The workshop combines a selected number of invited talks, presenting highly
relevant previously published research, along with presentations of new
research in the form of short papers and lightning papers. ANRW ‘20 accepts the
following types of submissions:
* Short papers are publications that present new research that has not been
previously published. For a short paper to be considered for publication,
please submit work describing early/emerging results in a relevant topic area.
There is a 6-page limit for short papers, including figures, tables, and any
appendices, optionally followed by unlimited additional pages for references.
* Lightning papers can provide a summary of early, emerging, or on-going work
as well as short updates of previously published work. This type of submission
will be presented in a short, lightning-talk style, as well as with a poster.
For a lightning paper to be considered for presentation, please submit an
extended abstract that is no longer than 2 pages, with a maximum of one
additional page for references only.
All accepted papers will be given a presentation slot as well as the option to
bring a poster in order to foster additional interactions with workshop
participants before and after the talk. Authors are expected to present in
person, however, in limited cases remote presentation can be discussed with the
chairs. Please approach the chairs if you intend to submit work but know in
advance you will not be able to present this work in person at the workshop in
Madrid.
ANRW ’2o particularly encourages the submission of results that could form the
basis for future engineering work in the IETF, by e.g., providing input and
analysis on Internet protocols or operational Internet practices, as well as
influence further research and experimentation in the IRTF. ANRW ‘20 is
sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
Paper topics should be relevant to the standardization activities of related
IETF working groups or activity in related IRTF research groups.
Topics of Interest
-----
* Development and deployment experience of new and enhanced Internet protocols
(e.g., for transport, security, or routing).
* Improvements and analysis to the security and privacy of new and existing
Internet protocols, including non-standardized techniques such as e.g. onion
routing.
* Practical congestion control for heterogeneous networks and novel
applications.
* Better ways of specifying protocols, including usable techniques for protocol
verification.
* Techniques for logging/monitoring of Internet traffic and root-cause
analysis, as well as debugging of (encrypted) Internet protocols.
* Measurement and analysis of existing and new Internet protocols, behavior of
Internet traffic, as well as transparency of Internet paths, including
censorship and blocking.
* Measurements and analysis of wide-area privacy risks and remediation.
* Deployment and evolution of DNS, CDNs, anycast, and other wide-area services.
* Management and deployment of secure IoT systems, including key/certificate
provisioning and software updates.
* Research and analysis of consolidation and centralization in the Internet.
* Approaches for decentralized and in-network computation.
* Evolution of interconnection, and new approaches on network management,
operations, and control.
* Internet availability in challenging environments (e.g. natural disaster
situations, remote areas, …).
Submission Types
------
ANRW ’20 accepts two types of submissions: short papers and lightning papers.
Submissions are not anonymous. Accepted papers will be presented during the
workshop, and will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of all
accepted papers may also bring a poster presenting its content to the workshop,
for display and more in-depth discussion with interested participants during
the breaks.
Submission page: https://anrw2020.hotcrp.com/
Formatting
------
All submissions must satisfy the following requirements:
* Short papers: up to 6 pages for technical content (including appendices) +
unlimited pages for references and acknowledgements.
* Lightning papers: up to 2 pages for an extended abstract (including
appendices) + a maximum of one page for references.
10-point font for main text; font used in other places (e.g., figures) should
be no smaller than 9 point
Two-column format, with the size of each column being at most 3.33 x 9.25
inches and the space between columns being at least 0.33 inches letter page
size (8.5 x 11 inches). Include names and affiliations of all authors on the
title page (no anonymization).
We strongly encourage the use of the new ACM LaTeX template, which satisfies
these style requirements provided you specify a 10-point font size. The
following settings should produce this output:
\documentclass[10pt,sigconf,letterpaper]{acmart}
Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected without
review. It is your responsibility to ensure that your submission satisfies the
above requirements.
Paper Novelty
-----
An accepted paper that is published must not be based on previously published
work, and cannot describe work that is currently under submission to another
venue. An accepted paper that is published also must not plagiarize the work of
its authors or of any other authors. The ACM Policy and Procedures on
Plagiarism applies to the ANRW, and action will be taken against submitters who
have engaged in such practices.
Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement requests will not be considered
for review or publication, nor ever be disclosed.
Reviews
-----
All submissions will be peer reviewed (single-blind). Reviews will be shared
with the authors.
Authors and TPC members provide conflict-of-interest information. It is
important that all authors of a submission are indicated in the submission
system and that all authors enter any conflicts of interest. Broadly, a
conflict of interest exists when:
You are currently employed at the same organization, have been previously
employed at the same organization within the last twelve months, or are going
to begin employment at the same organization.
You have a past or present professional relationship, such as thesis
advisement, collaboration on a project, publication, or grant proposal within
the past two years.
These are examples – use your own good judgment.
Important Dates
------
Paper submission deadline April 10, 2020
Paper notification deadline May 22, 2020
Camera-ready paper deadline June 19, 2020
