   ACM, IRTF & ISOC Applied Networking Research Workshop 2016

                       Berlin, Germany
                   Saturday, July 16, 2016

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

The inaugural ACM, IRTF & ISOC Applied Networking Research Workshop
2016 (ANRW’16) is 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. It is sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, the Internet
Research Task Force (IRTF) and the Internet Society (ISOC).

Researchers should consider submitting early/emerging results that
illustrate the scientific and engineering principles underlying the
Internet architecture, protocols and applications; that demonstrate
new capabilities, features, or extensions to the Internet protocol
layers; that enhance our understanding of how Internet protocols work
in real-world deployments or realistic test-beds; or that improve
Internet security and privacy, scalability, performance, and
robustness.

The ANRW’16 particularly encourages the submission of results that
could form the basis for future engineering work in the IETF, that
could change operational Internet practices, that can help better
specify Internet protocols, or that could influence further research
and experimentation in the IRTF.


*** TOPICS OF INTEREST ***

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, applied work in the
following areas:

 * Evolution of the Internet architecture and deployment of new
   Internetworking paradigms
 * Naming, addressing, and routing for the future Internet
 * Development and deployment of new and improved transport protocols
 * Congestion control for heterogeneous networks and novel
   applications
 * Improvements to the security and privacy of Internet protocols
 * Studies that characterize Internet security, privacy or censorship
 * Measuring and understanding the behaviour and transparency of the
   Internet
 * Internetworking and semantic interoperability for
   resource-constrained devices
 * New approaches to network management, operations, and control
 * Better ways of specifying protocols, including usable techniques
   for protocol verification
 * Enabling global access to the Internet
 * Improving the energy efficiency of the Internet
 * Protocols and APIs for new Internet applications
 * New approaches to decentralized mobility management
 * Application of network programmability to the Internet


*** SUBMISSION TYPES ***

The ANRW accepts two types of submissions: full papers and short
papers.

* Full papers

 Full paper submissions should be complete academic papers on the
 topics above and may contain up to six pages of technical content,
 including figures, tables, any appendices, etc., optionally followed
 by a single additional page for references and acknowledgements only.

 Accepted full papers will be presented and discussed in depth at the
 workshop, and will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

* Short papers

 Short paper submissions are suitable for short position papers, for
 starting a discussion on new technical ideas, to present very early
 results, or to present other topics of interest to the community
 (software and tools, research initiatives or collaborative projects,
 major new funding vessels, etc.). They may contain up to two pages
 of content including figures, tables, any appendices, etc.,
 optionally followed by a single additional page for references and
 acknowledgements only.

 Accepted short papers will be briefly presented during the workshop,
 and will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

 Authors of accepted short 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.

Intent Based Networking aspires at rising network manageability to a higher level.
As such, the various forms of IBN continue to be a compelling area of research and technology development.
Yet, the IBN term may convey different meanings and refer to different concepts or approaches, e.g. as in ANIMA WG, SUPA (BoF), IBNEMO, or SDN RG...
Thus, we believe some coordination among RG/WG can deliver additional value to the community.
Jointly with the SDN RG, we would like to impulse an activity on IBN to discuss the objectives, scope and kick start this effort.

The items listed below can help to get things started:
    -What are the definitions of Intent/IBN? e.g. in SUPA, ANIMA, SDN, NFV, IoT spaces...
    -What are the alignment/commonalities and differences among them, and the implications from technology, standard and business perspectives?
    -What are the functionality / components of an intent based system?
    -Is an end-to-end, comprehensive intent based system feasible? Does it make sense?
    -How can different techno-specific / heterogeneous sources of intent (definitions / blocks) inter-operate, in intra- and inter-domains?
    -What are the (key) areas of research? languages, semantics/ontologies, human factors/HNI, model-driven-development, policy refinement...
    -What are examples of application: e.g. technology specific or generic: e.g. in NFV, SDN, autonomics, IoT...
    -What relationships/consistency among those applications? i.e. towards a comprehensive view of a "Generalized IBN"
    -List of representative use cases of IBN.
    -Practical experiences, developments, tools on IBN.

The network management community has extensive knowledge and expertise in the area (think policy based management) that can prove very useful in the foreseen investigations.
Network management is also transverse to technologies (e.g. SDN, NFV, autonomics...), providing a different perspective to the problem at hand.

The first outcome of this activity will be discussed in the joint meeting between SDN, NFV and NM research groups to be held at IETF96/Berlin (TBC).

This topic is part of the NMRG meeting at NOMS 2016 (http://noms2016.ieee-noms.org, 25-29 April 2016, Istanbul).

Other events are in the pipe, so stay tuned!


Best regards,
Lisandro and Laurent (NMRG chairs), together with Kohei and Dan (SDN RG chairs).
