The Sixteenth GENI Engineering Conference

该项目支持主办为期三天的第16届GENI工程会议，包括组织和主办将在犹他大学校园举行的演示会议。全球网络创新环境(GENI)是一种在美国各地以原型形式迅速出现的虚拟仪器。GENI的目标是将网络和分布式系统的实验研究以及新兴研究转变为超大型社会技术系统的研究，方法是为未来互联网的“大规模”实验提供一套基础设施。GENI项目办公室每年组织三次主要的GENI工程会议(GEC)，整个GENI社区在会上开会审查当前状况，并决定GENI演变的后续步骤。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。来自美国不同机构的约250名顶尖研究人员和博士生将齐聚盐湖城，展示他们的想法和成果。在演示过程中，将为每个演示提供到GENI基础设施的有线连接。此外，演示和参与者还可以使用无线连接。GEC 16会议将在犹他大学校园举行，由一名经验丰富的犹他大学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在正式出版之前向GENI社区演示和解释他们的工作的机会。它是帮助应届研究生了解Geni正在做什么的关键部分，以及他们在其他机构的同龄人中谁可能是宝贵的资源。它还支持接触新的社区成员，包括新兴的美国Ignite社区。Geni已经被用作研究工具。该项目支持研究仪器的开发和使用。

This project supports hosting the three day sixteenth edition of the GENI Engineering conference, including organizing and hosting the demo session, to be held on the University of Utah campus. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a virtual instrument 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 (GECs) 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 250 leading researchers and Ph.D. students from diverse US institutions will gather in Salt Lake City 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 GEC 16 conference will be held on the University of Utah campus, with organizational oversight by an experienced University of Utah 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 project supports the development and use of the research instrument.
