Collaborative Research: GENI Working Group Meetings - Opt-in

终端用户选择加入工作组是专为目前处于规划阶段的一套试验性网络基础设施的特定技术设计领域而设的五个工作组之一，每年举办三次讲习班，持续举办：1)确定和解决设计问题，2)确定技术风险领域，3)审查GENI项目办公室编写的文件，4)开展外联活动。这一奖项为联合主席提供参加为期一年的讲习班的资金。通过公开、透明、管理良好的设计流程，社区将有充足的机会对一套实验性网络基础设施的设计提出意见并作出贡献。在设计过程的早期让社区参与将确保基础设施具有研究社区中的许多人所需的功能和能力。研讨会的主题包括：详细的开放设计问题和权衡、风险评估和缓解、通用词汇和模型、设计和集成活动、用例以及软件和服务的评估。主席将负责讲习班筹备、主持讲习班、成果传播和进度报告。这些资金将使主席能够招募不同的与会者，主持和出席会议，并广泛传播结果。

The End User Opt-In Working Group, which is one of five Working Groups dedicated to particular areas of technical design for a suite of experimental network infrastructure currently in its planning stages, holds three workshops each year that, on a continuing basis: 1) identify and resolve design issues, 2) identify areas of technical risk, 3) review documents prepared by the GENI Project Office, and 4) engage in outreach. This award gives the co-chairs funds for their participation in a one-year set of workshops. By having an open, transparent, well-managed design process, the community will have ample opportunities to comment and contribute to the design of a suite of experimental network infrastructure. Engaging the community early in the design process will ensure that the infrastructure will have the functionality and capabilities required by many in the research community. Workshop topics include: detailed open design issues and tradeoffs, risk assessment and mitigation, common vocabulary and models, design and integration activities, use cases, and the evaluation of software and services, for example. The chairs will be responsible for workshop preparation, chairing workshops, results dissemination, and progress reporting. These funds will enable the chairs to recruit a diverse set of attendees, conduct and attend meetings, and broadly disseminate the results.
