The ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop 2026 (ANRW’26) 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, and to find inspiration from topics and open problems discussed at the IETF. The workshop will consist of a mix of invited talks, submitted regular papers, and submitted short papers.
ANRW’26 particularly encourages the submission of results that could form the basis for future engineering work in the IETF, help better specify Internet protocols, change operational Internet practices, or influence further research and experimentation in the IRTF. ANRW’26 is sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
The ANRW ’26 is a one-day workshop that will take place in Vienna, Austria co-locating with the IETF-126 meeting. The workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.
