15th GENI Engineering Conference (GEC15)

该项目支持主办为期三天的第十五届GENI工程会议，包括组织和主办将在休斯顿大学校园举行的演示会议。全球网络创新环境（GENI）是一个虚拟实验室，在美国各地以原型形式迅速出现。GENI旨在通过为未来互联网的“大规模”实验提供一套基础设施，将网络和分布式系统的实验研究以及新兴研究转化为非常大的社会技术系统。GENI项目办公室每年组织三次主要的GENI工程会议（GEC），整个GENI社区在会议上回顾现状，并决定GENI的后续发展步骤。这些GEC包括以社区为基础的工作组，领导GENI的设计和规划，并通过现场实验展示进展。 约300名顶尖研究人员和博士。来自美国不同机构的学生将聚集在休斯顿，展示他们的想法和成果。 在演示会议中，每个演示都将提供到GENI基础设施的有线连接。此外，无线连接将可用于演示和参与者。为期3天的会议将在当地一家面向会议的酒店举行，由一位经验丰富的UH活动协调员进行组织监督。 更广泛的影响：GEC会议和演示会议为研究生提供了一个机会，在正式出版之前向GENI社区展示和解释他们的工作。 这是帮助新的研究生了解正在做什么与GENI和谁在他们的同龄人在其他机构可能是宝贵的资源的关键部分。 它还支持与新社区成员的外联，包括新兴的美国反犹太社区。 GENI已经被用作研究工具。 该提案支持研究工具的开发和使用。

This projects supports hosting the three day fifteenth edition of the GENI Engineering conference, including organizing and hosting the demo session to be held on the University of Houston campus. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a virtual laboratory that is rapidly emerging in prototype form across the United States. GENI aims to transform experimental research in networking and distributed systems, as well as emerging research into very large socio-technical systems, by providing a suite of infrastructure for 'at scale' experiments in future internets.The GENI Project Office organizes three major GENI Engineering conferences (GEC) per year, in which the entire GENI community meets to review current status, and to decide on subsequent steps in GENI's evolution. These GECs include community-based working groups leading GENI's design and planning, and demonstrating progress with live experiments. About 300 leading researchers and Ph.D. students from diverse US institutions will gather in Houston to showcase their ideas and results. In the demo session each demo will be provided with a wired connection to the GENI infrastructure. Additionally, wireless connectivity will be available for demonstrations and participants. The 3-day conference will be held at a local conference-oriented hotel, with organizational oversight by an experienced UH event coordinator. Broader Impact: The GEC meeting and Demo sessions provide graduate students with both an opportunity to demonstrate and explain their work to the GENI community prior to formal publication. It is a key part of helping new graduate students understand what is being done with GENI and who amongst their peers at other institutions might be valuable resources. It also supports outreach to new community members, including the emerging US Ignite community. GENI is already being used as an instrument for research. This proposal supports the development and use of the research instrument.
