This grant funds the Second Engineering Conference, the second conference in a projected series for designers and experimenters of a network science and engineering infrastructure. The conference will be held over two days with a "newcomers" session prior to the start of the conference. The conference will consist of a mix of plenary sessions with invited speakers and working group meetings. The particular goals of this second conference are: 1. To build on the sense of community that developed at the First Engineering Conference held at the University of Minnesota in the fall of 2007; 2. Prepare the Working Groups for a more aggressive pace of effort; and 3. Reconcile future visions with concrete engineering challenges.This conference and all subsequent conferences in this series are critical to the design of infrastructure for network science and engineering. If such an infrastructure is developed in the future, new kinds of network science and engineering research will be enabled. Experiments that cannot be carried out on today's testbeds promise to reveal new scientific insights and understanding of network behavior, performance, design, security, and economics, for example. In addition, new products will result as well as new opportunities for industry. These conferences provide a place where industry, researchers, students, international participants and agency program directors can discuss future visions and how to most effectively manage the risks inherent in such an endeavor. The funding from this grant will allow for increased diversity at the Second Conference -- both in attendees and speakers -- and to educate new attendees during a "newcomers" session.

这笔赠款资助第二次工程会议，第二次会议在一个网络科学和工程基础设施的设计师和实验者的预计系列。会议将举行两天，在会议开始前举行“新人”会议。会议将包括邀请演讲者的全体会议和工作组会议。第二次会议的具体目标是：1。建立在第一次世界大战时发展起来的社区意识的基础上， 2007年秋季在明尼苏达大学举行的工程会议; 2.使各工作组做好准备，以更积极的步伐开展工作; 3.将未来愿景与具体的工程挑战相结合。本次会议和本系列中的所有后续会议对于网络科学和工程的基础设施设计至关重要。如果将来开发出这样的基础设施，将能够进行新的网络科学和工程研究。无法在今天的测试平台上进行的实验有望揭示新的科学见解和对网络行为，性能，设计，安全和经济的理解。此外，新产品将为工业带来新的机会。这些会议为行业、研究人员、学生、国际参与者和机构项目主管提供了一个讨论未来愿景以及如何最有效地管理此类奋进中固有风险的场所。这笔赠款将使第二次会议的与会者和发言者更加多样化，并在“新来者”会议期间教育新与会者。
