ANRW’24 accepts the following types of submissions:<o:p></o:p> <ul style="margin-top:0cm;padding-inline-start:48px" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> 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. Position papers are also welcome. There is a 6-page limit for short papers, including figures, tables, and any appendices, optionally followed by unlimited additional pages for references.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Lightning papers can provide a summary of early, emerging, or on-going work as well as short updates of previously published work. Position papers are also welcome. This type of submission will be presented in a short, lightning-talk style. 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.<o:p></o:p></li></ul> Paper topics are not restricted to current standardization activities of related IETF working groups or activity in related IRTF research groups. We welcome papers on topics the IETF/IRTF should be looking at.<o:p></o:p> We note that the structure and use of the Internet, and Internet services, are constantly evolving. The list is long, including but not limited to shifts in traffic patterns and demands with remote work over broadband access networks, operational responses to large-scale physical and socio-political events, also trends towards increased multiplexing of connections over fewer IP addresses for various reasons that include scale, adaptability, and privacy.<o:p></o:p> <ul style="margin-top:0cm;padding-inline-start:48px" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Development and deployment experience of new or enhanced Internet protocols (e.g., for transport, security, or routing).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Improvements, measurements, and analysis of the security and privacy of new and existing Internet protocols and privacy enhancing technologies.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Evolution of interconnection, and new approaches on network management, operations, and control.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Practical congestion control for heterogeneous networks and novel applications.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Better ways of specifying protocols, including usable techniques for protocol verification.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Interactions between CDNs, anycast, and edge services such as DNS and Firewalls.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Research and analysis of consolidation and centralization of the Internet.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Techniques for logging/monitoring of Internet traffic and root-cause analysis, as well as debugging of (encrypted) Internet protocols.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Measurement and analysis of the performance of networks, including the performance or quality of experience of networked applications.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Design, measurement, analysis, or deployment of wireless, mobile, and cellular networks.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Internet resilience and recovery in physically challenging environments and events (e.g., remote areas, natural disaster situations).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Approaches and efforts towards decentralizing and democratizing the Internet.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Understanding the impact and interoperability of diverse clients (e.g., IoT, robotics, manufacturing).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> The changing semantics of IP addresses and connection-level metadata at large-scale (e.g. Addressing Agility, Private Relay).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Formal verification of protocols.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Topics relevant to the standardization activities of related IETF working groups.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"> Topics relevant to activity in related IRTF research groups.<o:p></o:p></li></ul> ANRW’24 is co-located with <a href="https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/120/">IETF-120</a> in Vancouver, and takes place in the week of July 20-26, 2024.
