Workshop for GENI Experiments

本次研讨会的目标是将有兴趣在规模和现实条件下运行新型网络实验的研究人员与通过GENI提供的当前基础设施套件的设计师和开发人员聚集在一起，GENI正在美国迅速形成原型形式。GENI的目标是通过网络科学、安全、技术、服务和应用方面的创新，成为探索未来网络的第一个实验室。研讨会参加者将由20至30个两人小组组成，通常由一名研究员和他或她的研究生组成，通过白皮书竞赛选出。他们将获得关于各种GENI组件和资源的技术教程，以及如何启动跨越多个基础设施部分的实验（例如，桥接PlanetLab， Proto-GENI和OpenFlow）。研究人员也将有机会提出实验并描述相关的操作、工作流程、仪器、测量和安全要求。本次研讨会将发展对GENI网络基础设施的共同理解，并建立一个使用GENI进行实验的研究人员社区。预计其中一些团队将向NSF提出他们的实验，这将导致新的研究思路和实验在任何其他网络测试平台上都无法实现。

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in running novel network experiments at scale and under realistic conditions with the designers and developers of the current suite of infrastructure available through GENI, which is rapidly taking shape in prototype form across the US. GENI has the goal of becoming the first laboratory for exploring networks of the future through innovatations in network science, security, technology, services and applications.The workshop attendees will consist of 20 to 30 two-person teams, typically, a researcher and his or her graduate student, selected through a white paper competition. They will be given technical tutorials on the various GENI components and resources and how to launch experiments that span more than one part of the infrastructure (e.g., bridging PlanetLab, Proto-GENI and OpenFlow.) The researchers will also have opportunities to propose experiments and describe the associated operational, workflow, instrumentation, measurement, and security requirements for that experiment. This workshop will develop a common understanding of the GENI network infrastructure and build a community of researchers using GENI for their experiments. It is expected that some of these teams will propose their experiments to NSF, which will result in the demonstration of new research ideas and experiments not possible on any other network testbed.
