<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded for recent</p>
<p class="p1">results in applied networking research that are relevant for</p>
<p class="p1">transitioning into shipping Internet products and related</p>
<p class="p1">standardization efforts. Researchers with relevant, recent results</p>
<p class="p1">are encouraged to apply for this prize, which will offer them the</p>
<p class="p1">opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers,</p>
<p class="p1">network operators, policy makers and scientists that participate in</p>
<p class="p1">the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the</p>
<p class="p1">Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Third-party nominations for this</p>
<p class="p1">prize are also encouraged. The goal of the Applied Networking</p>
<p class="p1">Research Prize is to recognize the best new ideas in networking, and</p>
<p class="p1">bring them to the IETF and IRTF especially in cases where they would</p>
<p class="p1">not otherwise see much exposure or discussion.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of:</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">• cash prize of $500 (USD)</p>
<p class="p1">• invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting</p>
<p class="p1">• travel grant to attend a week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel,</p>
<p class="p1"> registration, stipend)</p>
<p class="p1">• recognition at the IETF plenary</p>
<p class="p1">• invitation to related social activities</p>
<p class="p1">• potential for additional travel grants to future IETF meetings,</p>
<p class="p1"> based on community feedback</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">The Applied Networking Research Prize will be awarded once per</p>
<p class="p1">calendar year. Each year, several winners will be chosen and invited</p>
<p class="p1">to present their work at one of the three IETF meetings during the</p>
<p class="p1">year.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">HOW TO NOMINATE</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">Only a single person can be nominated for the award. The basis of the</p>
<p class="p1">nomination is a peer-reviewed, original journal, conference or</p>
<p class="p1">workshop paper they authored, which was recently published or</p>
<p class="p1">accepted for publication. The nominee must be one of the main authors</p>
<p class="p1">of the nominated paper. Both self nominations (nominating one’s own</p>
<p class="p1">paper) and third-party nominations (nominating someone else’s paper)</p>
<p class="p1">are encouraged.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for</p>
<p class="p1">possible future IETF engineering work or IRTF research and</p>
<p class="p1">experimentation, analyze the behavior of Internet protocols in</p>
<p class="p1">operational deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important</p>
<p class="p1">contribution to the understanding of Internet scalability,</p>
<p class="p1">performance, reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of</p>
<p class="p1">relevance to ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">Applicants must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to</p>
<p class="p1">these goals, and are encouraged to describe how a presentation of</p>
<p class="p1">these research results would foster their transition into new IETF</p>
<p class="p1">engineering or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new activities</p>
<p class="p1">that will have an impact on the real-world Internet.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster</p>
<p class="p1">the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for</p>
<p class="p1">the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the</p>
<p class="p1">nominee, in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend</p>
<p class="p1">at least one of the year’s IETF meetings in person and in its</p>
<p class="p1">entirety.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">Nominations must include:</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">• the name and email address of the nominee</p>
<p class="p1">• a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted)</p>
<p class="p1"> nominated paper</p>
<p class="p1">• a PDF copy of the nominated paper</p>
<p class="p1">• a statement that describes how the nominated paper fulfills the</p>
<p class="p1"> goals of the award</p>
<p class="p1">• a statement about which of the year’s IETF meetings the nominee</p>
<p class="p1"> would be available to attend in person and in its entirety</p>
<p class="p1">• a brief biography or CV of the nominee</p>
<p class="p1">• optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s</p>
<p class="p1"> web site, etc.)</p>
