Hi all,

we extended the ANRW submission deadline extended to April 24th! Measurement papers are also always interesting for the workshop. Please consider submitting your work!

	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 24, 2020 (extended)
Paper notification deadline	May 22, 2020
Camera-ready paper deadline	June 19, 2020

Workshop Chairs
----
Mirja Kühlewind, Ericsson
Roland van Rijswijk-Deij, University of Twente and NLnet Labs, Netherlands
