The Applied Networking Research Workshop 2016 (ANRW ’16) (https://irtf.org/anrw/2016/) co-located with the IETF-96 meeting in Berlin, Germany on Saturday, July 17, 2016 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 organized by the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) and the Internet Society (ISOC), in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM.

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 testbeds; 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 transport protocols
Congestion control
Privacy and security of the Internet
Measuring and understanding the behavior and transparency of the Internet
Internetworking of things
New approaches to network management, operations, and control
Better protocol specifications
Deployable protocols to enable global access to the Internet
Improving the energy efficiency of Internet protocols
New and improved Internet applications and protocols

Submission Types

The ANRW accepts three types of submissions: short papers, letters and posters.

Papers

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 acknowledgments only. Accepted papers will be presented and discussed at the workshop and published in theACM Digital Library.

Letters

Letter submissions are suitable for position papers, for starting the a discussion on new ideas, or 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 acknowledgments only. Accepted letters will be briefly presented and discussed at the workshop and published in the ACM Digital Library.

Posters

Poster submissions should have their topic described in a single page, including all content and references. Accepted posters will be presented at a poster session at the workshop, and advertised in a lightning talk session prior to the poster session. Posters will not be published.
