Empirical study of the Internet provides a foundation for understanding how the infrastructure is deployed, operated and used, and enables improvements in systems, protocols and processes. However, empirical study is fraught with challenges in the collection and analysis of data. Addressing these challenges is crucial to on-going empirical study of the Internet and to broadening the scope of measurement-based research. This project will plan and direct a two-day workshop that will bring together about 30 experts from the fields of Internet measurement, statistics and mathematics to discuss current challenges and identify important and promising future research directions and opportunities. This workshop is motivated by the new NSF Internet Measurement Research: Methodologies, Tools, and Infrastructure (IMR) program, which is a collaboration between Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) to “support methodologies, tools, and research infrastructure for Internet measurement spanning access (both wireless and fixed broadband) and core Internet.” This workshop will provide a forum for researchers who work on different aspects of Internet measurement to communicate and interact with statisticians and mathematicians. Specific opportunities for information exchange and collaboration between these communities include avoiding pitfalls in managing and analyzing large, diverse data sets, and creating novel methods for collecting, anonymizing, modeling, and analyzing Internet measurement data. The in-person workshop will be organized around keynote talks, focus group sessions and working group discussions. During the workshop, statisticians and mathematicians will have opportunities to learn about the current topics in Internet measurement research and the challenges and practical issues related to Internet measurement research. Likewise, Internet measurement researchers will have the opportunities to learn about the latest developments and advances in statistical models, algorithms and methodologies for collecting and analyzing large and complex datasets. The workshop aims to facilitate interactions and encourage future collaborations between participants. This will pave the way for research projects and will have a significant impact on the theory and practice in Internet measurement research, and will drive the development of new statistical and learning-based techniques. The workshop will also benefit the education and training of next-generation researchers and practitioners by exposing participants to new ideas and techniques spanning Internet measurement, statistics and mathematics. A report summarizing the workshop will be published after its conclusion. A website for the workshop will be available at http://imrworkshop22.cs.wisc.edu/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

互联网的实证研究为理解基础设施的部署、操作和使用奠定了基础，并能够改进系统、协议和流程。然而，实证研究在数据收集和分析方面充满了挑战。对于正在进行的互联网实证研究和扩大基于测量的研究范围至关重要，该项目将计划和指导一个为期两天的研讨会，该研讨会将汇集来自互联网测量、统计和数学领域的约 30 名专家。讨论当前的挑战并确定重要且有前途的未来研究本次研讨会是由新的 NSF 互联网测量研究：方法、工具和基础设施 (IMR) 计划推动的，该计划是计算机和信息科学与工程 (CISE) 与数学和物理科学 (MPS) 之间的合作，旨在“支持跨接入（无线和固定宽带）和核心互联网的互联网测量的方法、工具和研究基础设施。本次研讨会将为从事互联网测量不同方面工作的研究人员提供一个与统计学家和数学家进行交流和互动的论坛。” .特定机会这些社区之间的信息交流和协作包括避免管理和分析大型、多样化数据集的陷阱，以及创建收集、匿名化、建模和分析互联网测量数据的新方法。现场研讨会将围绕主题演讲进行组织。在研讨会期间，统计学家和数学家将有机会了解互联网测量研究的当前主题以及与互联网测量研究相关的挑战和实际问题。了解最新的发展和进步该研讨会旨在促进参与者之间的互动并鼓励未来的合作，这将为研究项目铺平道路，并对互联网测量的理论和实践产生重大影响。该研讨会还将推动新的统计和基于学习的技术的开发，让参与者接触到互联网测量、统计和数学的新思想和技术，从而有利于下一代研究人员和从业人员的教育和培训。研讨会总结将在结束后发布在网站上。有关研讨会的信息，请访问 http://imrworkshop22.cs.wisc.edu/ 该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
