Researchers with relevant, recent results are encouraged to apply for this prize, which will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Third-party nominations for this prize are also encouraged. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize is to recognize the best new ideas in networking, and bring them to the IETF and IRTF especially in cases where they would not otherwise see much exposure or discussion. The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of: • invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting • travel grant to attend a week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel, registration, stipend) • cash prize of $1000 (USD) • recognition at the IETF plenary • invitation to related social activities • potential for additional travel grants to future IETF meetings, based on community feedback The Applied Networking Research Prize will be awarded once per calendar year. Each year, several winners will be chosen and invited to present their work at one of the three IETF meetings during the year. HOW TO NOMINATE Only a single person can be nominated for the award. The basis of the nomination is a peer-reviewed, original journal, conference or workshop paper they authored, which was recently published or accepted for publication. The nominee must be one of the main authors of the nominated paper. Both self-nominations (nominating one’s own paper) and third-party nominations (nominating someone else’s paper) are encouraged. The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for possible future IETF engineering work or IRTF research and experimentation, analyze the behavior of Internet protocols in operational deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important contribution to the understanding of Internet scalability, performance, reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of relevance to ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities. Applicants must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to these goals, and are encouraged to describe how a presentation of these research results would foster their transition into new IETF engineering or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new activities that will have an impact on the real-world Internet. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the nominee, in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend at least one of the year’s IETF meetings in person and in its entirety. Nominations must include: • the name and email address of the nominee • a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted) nominated paper • a PDF copy of the nominated paper • a statement that describes how the nominated paper fulfills the goals of the award • a statement about which of the year’s IETF meetings the nominee would be available to attend in person and in its entirety • a brief biography or CV of the nominee • optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s web site, etc.) Nominations are submitted via the submission site at https://irtf.org/anrp/2018/. In exceptional cases, nominations may also be submitted by email to anrp(a)irtf.org. IMPORTANT DATES Applications close: November 5, 2017 (hard) Notifications: December 7, 2017 SPONSORS The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is supported by the Internet Society (ISOC) in coordination with the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).

Fwd: [IAMCR] [SPAM] Journal of Alternative and Community Media - CfP Sustaining Community Media

by Michael J. Oghia

This might be relevant to anyone also engaging in community media projects. Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Salvatore Scifo <sscifo(a)bournemouth.ac.uk> Date: Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 10:12 AM Subject: [IAMCR] [SPAM] Journal of Alternative and Community Media - CfP Sustaining Community Media To: "announcements(a)iamcr.org" <announcements(a)iamcr.org> Dear Colleagues, we will be editing a special issue of the Journal of Alternative and Community Media (JoACM), with Dr Andrew O' Baoill of the National University of Ireland at Galway. Our topic is Sustaining Community Media: Challenges and Strategies. We are seeking short abstracts (100-150 words) by 15th November, with full texts of accepted articles due next March. Further below, and in the attached pdf, you can find the full call for papers. We welcome your proposals and informal inquiries. Please circulate to others you think might be interested. Best Regards, Salvatore ----------------------------------- Journal of Alternative and Community Media SPECIAL ISSUE - CALL FOR PAPERS Guest Editors: Andrew Ó Baoill, National University of Ireland, Ireland ( andrew.obaoill(a)nuigalway.ie) Salvatore Scifo, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom ( sscifo(a)bournemouth.ac.uk) Sustaining Community Media: Challenges and Strategies Maintaining community media organisations requires ongoing attention to a number of factors. Radio and TV stations, as well as national and international community media organisations must consider funding, governance structures, changing political and economic conditions, while building, consolidating and extending relationships with their listening communities. The concept of sustainability has been widely used in the context of communication for development paradigms, as a lens for assessing the health and success of that sector. This special issue will provide an opportunity to reflect on questions of resilience and endurance as they arise in alternative, radical, oppositional, and community-grounded media, and to explore the various interdependent factors that can impact the ongoing stability and health of community media projects. Concurrently, the association of the term with questions of ecology prompts a reflective and ethical concern that extends beyond the immediate or parochial, and we expect papers that will, in a holistic fashion, explore the role and operation of the sector in the context of broader socio-political concerns. Community media have been the focus of an increasing amount of scholarly attention as they have grown in size, from social movement theorists, to political economists, to those focused on governance and organisational communication. As Atton and Hamilton (2008: 26) note in their analysis of the political economy of alternative journalism, the “general political-economic dilemma for any critical project is that it needs resources with which to work, but those crucial resources are present only in the very society that it seeks to change or dissolve.” This special issue will build on existing knowledge, together with exploration of contemporary case studies, to explore the numerous challenges faced by community media activists and organisations in nurturing long-term projects, and identify strategies and best practices for building a sustainable sector. Questions of sustainability have an immediate practical relevance to those working in the field of community communication - many projects that emerge from the context of short-term tactical media projects struggle with questions of funding and volunteer engagement as the focus of their horizon changes. Also, the workforce and paperwork required by some funding schemes might be a barrier to the search of medium and long-term support. Beyond this, we encourage submissions that tackle the ethical tensions that arise, for instance, for those looking to create media that is at once independent, critical, and financially stable. To what extent is it possible to have a media project that is both oppositional and institutionalised? What compromises or additional work is necessary? How to balance the possible conflict between aims of the stations and those of funding bodies? In challenging contributors to focus on the interplay of practical considerations of funding and resources, together with questions of mission, key commitments, and values, we expect to foster a constructive debate that has the potential to draw on a range of historical examples, as well as explore some distinctive issues arising in the contemporary context. In what ways do the lower barriers to entry for digital publishing support and challenge the development of enduring oppositional projects? With neoliberalism prompting the expansion of commercial logic into ever more areas of human activity, what are the pressures faced by projects grounded in an opposition to commodification and capitalism more broadly? Areas of focus might include the following, with projects that draw together a number of tensions in creative and challenging ways particularly welcome: • Capital and recurrent funding; building revenue streams • Regulatory challenges and solutions • Governance and organisation • Cooperation and health of the sector • Localism and defining community • Maintaining and refreshing relationships with communities • Pragmatism versus idealism Abstracts due: 15 November 2017 Notification of acceptance: 1 December 2017 Publication: mid-to-late 2018 Submission Guidelines: Please send an electronic copy of your 100-150 word abstract via e-mail text to both Guest Editors, Andrew Ó Baoill (andrew.obaoill(a)nuigalway.ie) and Salvatore Scifo (sscifo(a)bournemouth.ac.uk), by Wednesday, 15 November 2017. Authors will be informed about the acceptance (or not) of their proposal by Friday 1 December 2017 and will be expected to submit their full paper according to JOACM guidelines (see https://joacm.org/index.php/JOACM/pages/view/authors) by 15 March 2018.
