Hi,
The nomination deadline for the IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize
(ANRP) is only a few days away. Details below!
Have you seen work recently that would be deserving of funding and focus
at an upcoming IETF/IRTF meeting (e.g., recent work you saw at RIPE81 or
IMC, or the amazing work your students are doing)? Please consider
nominating!
Cheers,
S.

APPLIED NETWORKING RESEARCH PRIZE (ANRP) 2021
https://irtf.org/anrp/
*******************************************************************
*** Submit nominations for the 2021 award period of the ***
*** Applied Networking Research Prize until November 22, 2020 ***
*** ***
*** (Please share this announcement with your colleagues.) ***
*******************************************************************
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded to recognise the
best recent results in applied networking, interesting new research
ideas of potential relevance to the Internet standards community, and
upcoming people that are likely to have an impact on Internet standards
and technologies, with a particular focus on cases where these people or
ideas would not otherwise get much exposure or be able to participate in
the discussion.
We encourage nominations of researchers with relevant research results,
interesting ideas, and new perspectives. The award will offer them the
opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers,
network operators, policy makers, and scientists that participate in the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the
Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Both self- and third-party
nominations for this prize are encouraged.
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of:
• a cash prize of $1000 (USD)
• an invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting
• a travel grant to attend a week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel,
registration, stipend - COVID-19 permitting)
• recognition at the IETF plenary
• an invitation to related social activities
In addition, prize winners may be offered additional travel grants to
attend future IETF and/or IRTF meetings. Such grants are made at the
discretion of the award committee, based on community feedback,
engagement with the community, and potential future impact.
Applied Networking Research Prize awards are made once per calendar
year. Each year, several winners will be chosen and invited to present
their work at one of the three IETF meetings during the following year.
# HOW TO NOMINATE
Nominations are for a single author of an original, peer-reviewed,
journal, conference or workshop paper that was recently published or
accepted for publication. The nominee must be one of the main authors of
the nominated paper. Both self-nominations (nominating one’s own paper)
and third-party nominations (nominating someone else’s paper) are
encouraged.
The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for possible
future engineering work in the IETF, or research and experimentation in
the IRTF. It should analyse the behaviour of Internet protocols in
operational deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important
contribution to the understanding of Internet scalability, performance,
reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of relevance to
ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities.
Nominations must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to
these goals. They should describe how involving the nominee in the IETF
and IRTF process, and bringing them to an IETF meeting, would help to
foster the transition of the results and/or ideas into new IETF
engineering work or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new
activities that will have an impact on the real-world Internet.
The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster
the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for the
Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the nominee,
in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend at least one
of the IETF meetings in the following year. In-person attendance is
desirable, where possible, but due to the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic remote participation options will be available for ANRP prize
winners at all IETF meetings in 2021.
Nominations are submitted via https://irtf.org/anrp/ and must include:
• the name and email address of the nominee;
• a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted) nominated paper;
• a PDF copy of the nominated paper;
• a statement that describes how the nominated paper fulfills the goals
of the award and how the nominee would engage with the IETF and/or IRTF
community;
• a statement of the nominees availability to present their work at the
IETF meetings in during 2021;
• a statement that the nominee accepts that the IRTF Intellectual
Property Rights disclosure rules will apply to their award talk at the
IRTF open meeting;
• a brief biography or CV for the nominee; and
• optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s web
site, etc.)
All nominees will be notified by email about the decision regarding
their nomination.
Nominations for the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) are not
considered to be contributions to the IETF or IRTF. However, the invited
talks at the IRTF Open Meeting are considered to be contributions and
the IRTF Intellectual Property Rights disclosure rules apply.
