INTERNET RESEARCH TASK FORCE



The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) promotes research of importance to the
evolution of the Internet protocols, applications, architecture and technology.


OVERVIEW

The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) focuses on longer term research issues
related to the Internet while the parallel organization, the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF), focuses on the shorter term issues of engineering
and standards making.

The IRTF is comprised of a number of focused and long-term Research Groups.
These groups work on topics related to Internet protocols, applications,
architecture and technology. Research Groups have the stable long-term
membership needed to promote the development of research collaboration and
teamwork in exploring research issues. Participation is by individual
contributors, rather than by representatives of organizations.

The IRTF also organises the ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop and
the Applied Networking Research Prize to encourage collaboration between the
academic research world and the Internet standards community.

The IRTF has a limited number of travel grants to support attendance of PhD
students and early career researchers at our events and workshops.

WORKSHOPS AND PRIZES

The ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop is an academic workshop that
provides a forum for researchers, vendors, network operators, and the Internet
standards community to present and discuss emerging results in applied
networking research. It co-locates with the summer IETF meeting each year.

The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded for recent results in
applied networking research that are relevant for transitioning into shipping
Internet products and related standardization efforts. Nominations are made each
Autumn, and prize winners give their award talks in the IRTF Open Meetings the
following year.


MORE INFORMATION

RFC 7418 gives an IRTF Primer for IETF Participants. It provides a high-level
description of things for IETF participants to consider when bringing proposals
for new research groups into the IRTF, and emphasizes differences in
expectations between the two organizations.

The IRTF is managed by the IRTF Chair in consultation with the Internet Research
Steering Group (IRSG). The IRSG membership includes the IRTF Chair, the chairs
of the various Research Groups, and other individuals (“members at large”) from
the research community selected by the IRTF Chair.

The governance and operation of the IRTF is described by various RFCs and other
policy documents. These include Intellectual Property Rights disclosure rules.
The IETF Anti-Harassment Policy also applies to the IRTF.


APPLIED NETWORKING RESEARCH PRIZE AWARDS 2023

Congratulations to Simon Scherrer, Boris Pismenny, Siva Kakarla, Dennis
Trautwein, Arthur Selle Jacobs, and Ram Sundara Raman, who will receive Applied
Networking Research Prize awards in 2023.


TRAVEL GRANTS FOR IETF-116
