The goal of this project is to build a distributed experimentation infrastructure spanning multiple sites in the US and Europe that is uniquely positioned to facilitate experimental research on global scale mobile services. The infrastructure would consist of cameras and touch-screen displays at different locations in New York and Madison as well as in CERTH and IBBT In Europe, allowing wireless based connectivity for its users through a layer 2 tunnel.This project will enable research in distributed mobile services at a global scale. The research questions revolve around tradeoffs in placing computation across diverse locations around the globe and how they should be best replicated to optimize between performance latencies, bandwidth consumed and operational costs of such a service. The PIs are considering an application that they call a distributed wall where each site has a number or sensors and actuators, i.e. motion-detecting cameras and displays. A core local computational task is to quickly detect individuals and focus the cameras on them. As the number of sites grows, a key challenge for the application developers is to determine how and when to provision servers in different parts of the globe to optimize on the key experimental metrics. The proposed outcomes include better understanding of distributed deployment of global scale mobile services.The project also has significant educational impact. The PIs will incorporate learnings from the project into the classroom through various networking and wireless communication courses at the respective universities. In addition, this project will bring students together from several countries to work together on a single project. The students will travel to the remote locations to give them exposure to research in different institutions across different countries with different research cultures and approaches to addressing networking research.

该项目的目的是建立一个分布式的实验基础架构，该基础架构涵盖了美国和欧洲的多个站点，该基础架构具有独特的位置，以促进有关全球规模移动服务的实验研究。基础设施将由纽约和麦迪逊的不同位置以及欧洲的Certh和IBBT的相机和触摸屏显示器组成，从而通过2层隧道为其用户提供基于无线的连接性。此项目将在全球范围内进行分布式移动服务的研究。研究问题围绕着权衡方面围绕着跨全球不同地点的计算以及如何最好地复制它们在性能潜伏期之间进行优化，带宽消耗和运营成本的运营成本。 PI正在考虑将每个站点都有一个数字或传感器和执行器的应用程序，即运动检测摄像机和显示器。核心的本地计算任务是快速检测个人并将相机集中在他们身上。随着站点数量的增加，应用程序开发人员的关键挑战是确定如何以及何时在全球不同地区提供服务器，以优化关键的实验指标。拟议的结果包括更好地了解全球移动服务的分布式部署。该项目还具有重大的教育影响。 PI将通过各自大学的各种网络和无线通信课程从项目中将项目的学习纳入课堂。此外，该项目将使来自几个国家的学生聚集在一起，共同完成一个项目。学生将前往偏远地区，让他们接触不同国家的不同机构的研究，并具有不同的研究文化和解决网络研究的方法。
