IRTF-cosponsored event: 3rd MANIAC Challenge

Hi,

the IRTF is a co-sponsor of the 3rd MANIAC Challenge on the Saturday before IETF-87 in Berlin.

Lars

-- 

       **  Call for Short Papers for the 3rd MANIAC Challenge  **

        Co-located with the 87th IETF meeting in Berlin, Germany
                     July 27 - August 2, 2013

                http://2013.maniacchallenge.org

        Sponsored by: Google, ISOC, IETF, IRTF, ANR, and BMBF

The MANIAC Challenge is a competition to better understand cooperation and
interoperability in ad hoc networks. Competing teams students/researchers
come together to form a wireless ad hoc network, while simultaneously
connected to a backbone of access points. The organizers will generate
traffic coming from the backbone, destined to somewhere in the network. A
hop-by-hop bidding contest decides the path of each data packet towards its
destination.

Each team usually consists of two to three people. Teams will be judged
based on how much of the traffic they relay gets to its destination. To get
their traffic across the network, each team must rely on other teams 
willingness to forward traffic for them. We have developed software and an
API over Android to allow teams to program their nodes, in particular

Closing the Anti Spam Research Group (ASRG)

Hi,

as announced by the chair, the Anti Spam Research Group (ASRG) has concluded their work and will be closed.
The IRTF mailing list will close along with the group, but the former chair has created a new list at
asrg <at> lists.gurus.org for folks to continue the discussion.

I would like to thank all participants, and especially the RG chairs, for all their efforts over the years.

Closing the P2P Research Group

Hi,

with the publication of RFCs 6875 and 6821, the Peer-to-Peer Research Group has concluded their work and
will be closed. The RG mailing list will close along with the group.

I would like to thank all participants, and especially the RG chairs, for all their efforts over the years.

Applied Networking Research Prize 2013 presentation at IETF-86


Hi,

we are extremely pleased to report that for the 2013 award period of
the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP), 36 eligible nominations
were received. Each submission was reviewed by eight members of the
selection committee according to a diverse set of criteria, including
scientific excellence and substance, timeliness, relevance, and
potential impact on the Internet.

Based on this review, four submissions will be awarded an ANRP in 2013.
The first of these awards will happen at IETF-86 in Orlando, FL, USA.
It goes to:

  *** Gonca Gürsun *** for defining a metric that allows an analysis
  of BGP routing policies:

    Gonca Gürsun, Natali Ruchansky, Evimaria Terzi and Mark Crovella.
    Routing State Distance: A Path-based Metric For Network Analysis.
    Proc. ACM IMC, Boston, MA, USA, Nov. 2012.
    http://cs-people.bu.edu/goncag/papers/imc12-rsd.pdf

Gonca has been invited to present her findings in the IRTF Open Meeting
during IETF-86, March 10-15, 2013 in Orlando, FL, USA. Join her there!

The other three ANRP winners of 2013 will be announced before IETF-87
and IETF-88, respectively.

The call for ANRP nominations for the 2014 awards cycle will open in the
fall of 2013. Read more about the ANRP at http://irtf.org/anrp.

New: Software-Defined Networking Research Group (SDNRG)

A new IRTF research group on Software-Defined Networking has been chartered:

  The Software-Defined Networking Research Group (SDNRG) investigates SDN
  from various perspectives with the goal of identifying the approaches that
  can be defined, deployed and used in the near term as well identifying
  future research challenges. In particular, key areas of interest include
  solution scalability, abstractions, and programming languages and paradigms
  particularly useful in the context of SDN. In addition, it is an explicit
  goal of the SDNRG to provide a forum for researchers to investigate key
  and interesting problems in the Software-Defined Networking field.

Charter and participation information can be found at http://irtf.org/sdnrg
