New on RIPE Labs: Announcing Daily RIPE Atlas Data Archives
by Mirjam Kuehne 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Dear colleagues, In this article we present a new way to access the dataset on the RIPE Atlas platform. Instead of fetching individual results from measurements using the available APIs, you can now download files containing public measurements for a given day. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/petros_gigis/announcing-daily-ripe-atlas-data… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: OpenIPmap - A Collaborative Approach to Mapping Internet Infrastructure
by Mirjam Kuehne 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Dear colleagues, OpenIPmap, the RIPE NCC’s tool for geolocating core Internet infrastructure, has undergone a full architectural overhaul. With a new set of APIs and interfaces designed to cater to the needs of all users, the system integrates various methods for estimating the geographical locations of IXPs, core routers and other components of Internet infrastructure. In this, the first of two RIPE Labs articles on the topic, we look at the evolution of OpenIPmap from its inception to today: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/jasper_den_hertog/openipmap-a-collaborative-a… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Call for presentations RIPE 76
by Benno Overeinder 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 76 below or at: https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is *11 March 2018*. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings, see the "Speakers" paragraph in CFP for more information. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe76.ripe.net/ripe-pc/ -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 76 will take place from 14-18 May in Marseille, France. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 76. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *11 March 2018*. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) Speakers Presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee are required to cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc(a)ripe.net. Also note that, on an individual basis, participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship to develop their professional or academic career. For more information, please visit: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship Submissions Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe76.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/ RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour (during evening sessions) - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc(a)ripe.net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

Deadline extended: Call for applications for TMA 2018 Shadow PC
by Andra Lutu 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Network Traffic Measurement and Analysis Conference (TMA Conference 2018) June 26-29, 2018, Vienna, Austria http://tma.ifip.org/2018/ TMA 2018 Shadow PC ================== To provide an educational experience by introducing students to a review process and to subsequently train the next generation of program committee (PC) members, the TMA 2018 TPC would like to make submitted papers available to the shadow PC. Shadow PCs allow students and others interested in future PC service to read submitted papers and go through the reviewing process, ultimately arriving at a shadow conference program. This opportunity allows future PC members to learn first-hand about the peer-review process and gain experience as a reviewer. The shadow PC process is run on a different system and the shadow PC reviewers will not have any access to the real reviews, the names of the real reviewers, or any other data such as relative rankings. Shadow PC reviewers will have to abide by the same rules and restrictions applicable to regular PC members. This includes, but is not limited to, rules against discussing the papers outside of the PC context, or using in any way results from reviewed papers before such papers have been published. Delegated reviews (i.e., external reviews) are not allowed for the shadow PC. A submitted paper is made available to the shadow PC by default; authors will have the opportunity to opt-out during the paper submission process. Shadow reviews for papers that are reviewed by the shadow PC will be sent out after the actual TMA’18 review process. Authors who have participated in previous shadow PCs have found the additional reviews helpful; however, these reviews will have no bearing on acceptance to the technical program. You can directly contribute to a successful shadow PC and benefit from the additional feedback on your submission by making your paper available to the shadow PC with no extra overhead. Simply indicate your choice in the HotCrp submission site. Shadow PC Chairs (contact: shadow-tma18(a)cm.in.tum.de) -- Vaibhav Bajpai (Technische Universität München) -- Andra Lutu (Simula Research Laboratory) -- Oliver Hohlfeld (RWTH Aachen University) Call for Applications ===================== Following a successful model used at other premier technical conferences such as SIGCOMM, CoNext, EuroSys, NSDI, and IMC, TMA will be organizing its first Shadow Program Committee in 2018. The Shadow PC will consist of PhD students, early-career academics, and junior researchers and will provide reviews on a subset of submissions to the conference. Paper authors can choose to opt-out for shadow reviews. The TMA Shadow PC will function much like an independent version of the “Senior” PC, including holding an in-person or online PC meeting and deciding the program of papers it would have selected (note that only authors will learn the “shadow” fate of their own papers, which will have no impact on the actual TMA PC process). Shadow PC members will be expected to review a full load of 5-10 papers (depending on the number of submissions selected for the Shadow PC process) on time and participate in online discussion, as well as follow the ethical standards of peer review. Shadow PC members will also be required to do a small amount of reading about the PC process. Shadow PC members must respect the anonymity of the review process and not share which papers they have reviewed or solicit sub-reviews. Shadow PC members who do not adhere to the review deadlines will be excluded from the process. Shadow PC reviews will be made available (anonymized) to the authors. The Shadow PC meeting will likely be held on March 28 in Berlin co-located with PAM (details TBD). Shadow PC members should attend in-person or online (some travel grants will be available to support attendance). Shadow PC members will not attend the Senior PC meeting, and the Shadow PC program acceptance decisions will not be made available publicly. However, some PC members might attend the shadow PC meeting to help with the discussions. If you are interested in participating, please apply by uploading your application material to http://hotcrp.cm.in.tum.de/shadow-tpc-tma18 submission site by Jan 15th, 2018, Midnight Pacific time. Your application should consist of a single PDF file which includes a CV and a brief (0.25-1 pg) motivation statement explaining why you’d like to participate in the shadow PC. Be sure to include your name, position/year of study, areas of research experience, publications (feel free to include tech reports, papers under submission/preparation, and unreviewed manuscripts, as long as you indicate them as such) or past reviewing experience (ok to have none). Important Dates =============== Deadline to Apply for Shadow PC: *February 1, 2018* Notification of Acceptance to Shadow PC: *February 8, 2018* Shadow Review Period: February 17 – March 21, 2018 Shadow Discussion Period: March 21 – March 27, 2018 Shadow PC Meeting: March 28, 2018 -- Andra Lutu Postdoctoral Fellow Mobile: +47 458 36 244 Simula Research Laboratory Visiting address: Martin Linges vei 17, 1364 Fornebu, Norway Mailing address: P.O.Box 134, 1325 Lysaker, Norway ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage: https:/www./simula.no/ <http://simula.no/>
