Call for Participation, Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW) 2020
Registration is now open for the Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW) 2020, which will bring together researchers, operators and representatives of the Internet standards community from around the world and is set to take place online during the week of 27-31 July 2020.
Interspersed with sessions of the IETF 108 Online meeting scheduled for the same week, this year’s ANRW event will consist of four separate sessions with more than a dozen total presentations covering applied research across a wide range of topics, including: DNS and BGP, protocol testing and validation, monitoring and logging, and transport protocols and traffic engineering. A full program is available on the ANRW 2020 website.
Participation in the ANRW is open to anyone, with registration required. Registration is free for those attending IETF 108 Online; to attend ANRW only as a separate event, a $25 registration fee is charged.

ACM SIGCOMM 2020 Test of Time Paper Award
The Test of Time award for 2020 is awarded to:
"A network in a laptop: rapid prototyping for software-defined networks" by Bob Lantz, Brandon Heller, and Nick McKeown, in ACM HotNets 2010
Using illustrative cases studies, the paper demonstrates how a Mininet-based design can be wrapped in a VM to create a “network appliance” that can be distributed over the Internet so that anyone with a laptop can download and run a ``living, breathing” example of a new networked system. The paper has had a profound impact on catalyzing collaborative network research by setting new standards for reproducible networking research in the form of “runnable papers.”
The 2020 award paper was selected by a committee composed of: Paul Barford (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Hamed Haddadi (Imperial College London, chair), Thomas Karagiannis (Microsoft Research Cambridge), Sue Moon (KAIST), Walter Willinger (NIKSUN).
Call for Nominations for SIGCOMM 2020 Rising Star Award
Each year, ACM SIGCOMM will present a "Rising Star" Award, recognizing a young researcher - an individual within 10 years of receiving their highest university degree - who has made outstanding research contributions to the field of communication networks during this early part of their career. Depth, impact, and novelty of the researcher's contributions will be key criteria upon which the Rising Star award committee will evaluate the nominees. Also of particular interest are strong research contributions made independently from the nominee's PhD advisor.
The award will be presented at the annual ACM CoNEXT conference, where the award-winner will deliver a keynote address. Conference registration, travel, and lodging for the awardee will be paid by ACM SIGCOMM.
Nominations for SIGCOMM Rising Star Award: July 30, 2020
