Brazilian researchers from the network area participate in the National Science Foundation workshop

Brazilian researchers specialized in network monitoring and performance had a proposal selected to participate in the Workshop on Overcoming Measurement Barriers to Internet Research (WOMBIR 2021), promoted by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the largest funding body of the scientific community in the United States. The academics come from several academic institutions in Brazil and are part of the Network Monitoring Technical Committee (CT-Mon) coordinated by RNP.

With the title “The Challenge of Delivering Open OSS Data for Research”, the proposal submitted by CT-Mon was accepted among a total of 40 submissions. The event will be on-line and will be held on January 11 and 12 in closed sessions with transmission on the Zoom videoconference platform. The presentation of CT-Mon will be on 01/11 in session “Cooperation with the industry and operations to obtain relevant data” between 3:15 pm and 4:15 pm (Brasília time).

About NSF Workshop

Among the goals of the workshop promoted by NSF, there are identification of critical research issues that justify opening calls in the network measurement area, identification of barriers and facilitators of this research, and discussion on how research results can impact beyond the research community.

Another consideration for the workshop is whether there are any critical issues relevant to the future of the internet, but not subject to assessment by third parties. In this case, the research community may need new policies and institutions to support data collection and sharing, similar to other disciplines. Given this reality, the workshop intends to discuss the role of the traditional academic research funded by NSF in the progress of the scientific study of the internet. 

Renowned researchers from universities, research institutions and international universities will attend and present at the workshop. Check the program out available on the event site.
