SUBMISSIONS: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=isocptanrw2020

The ISOC.PT Applied Networking Research Workshop Prize (ANRW Prize) provides the acknowledge from ISOC.PT to the Portuguese Research Community involved in conducting Applied Networking and Internet Research. It is also an initiative providing a forum for researchers, vendors, network operators, and all the ISOC.PT members, where the nominated authors will present their work, conducted in Portugal by Universities, Research Centres and Industrial R&D Labs, encouraging the discussion and fostering possible local cross-community collaborations.

The ISOC.PT ANRW Prize is particularly targeted for recognizing relevant and emerging results in applied networking research, aligned with the topics and open problems in the discussion agenda of IETF and ACM/IRTF forums, including the ACM/IRTF ANRW - Applied Network Research Workshop. The prize provides financial support for one person to attend the annual IETF session co-located with the International Applied Network Research Workshop. In addition, members of the award’s scientific committee will provide support for the nominated and awarded work to be disseminated and proposed as a possible invited talk or short paper accepted for presentation in the IRTF ANRW. The next ACM/IRTF ANRW (2020 edition) will take place in Madrid, 27 July 2020, co-located with the IETF 108 Meeting (from 25 to 31 July, 2020).

ISOC.PT ANRW Prize Ceremony Session


The prize will be awarded at a public session in Lisbon (TBA).

Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing their research work to the ISOC.PT ANRW Prize. The only compromise of the authors is the availability to present their work in a talk in the Public Award Session. Proposed paper copyrights belong to the authors. The papers will not be published by ISOC.PT. Then the authors are free to publish them later in other venues, in the same format or in extended versions, if they wish. The awarded paper should lead to a talk or a short paper proposal to the International ACM/IRTF ANRW 2020 in Madrid
