The Seventeenth GENI Engineering Conference

该项目支持主办为期三天的第十七届Geni Engineering大会，包括组织和主办将于2013年7月21-23日在威斯康星州麦迪逊举行的演示会议。GEC地点将在麦迪逊酒店举行，步行即可到达大学校园，示范会议将在大学设施中举行。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麦迪逊，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。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的目标是通过为未来互联网的“大规模”实验提供一套基础设施，来改变网络和分布式系统的实验研究，以及向超大型社会技术系统的新兴研究。GENI旨在解决三个问题：-科学问题：我们目前无法理解或预测复杂的大规模网络的行为。-社会问题：我们越来越依赖互联网，但不确定我们能否信任其安全性、隐私或弹性。-创新问题：新架构、服务和技术的大规模实验的巨大障碍。GENI通过规模(来自联邦)和支持两种类型的实验来解决这些问题：1)受控和可重复的实验，这将极大地帮助我们提高对复杂、大规模网络的科学理解；2)对搭载或连接到当今互联网上的实验性服务进行野外试验--S和吸引了大量人类参与者的互联网。全球经济共同体会议和相关的演示会议是GENI综合开发进程的一个关键组成部分。GEC为GENI开发提供集成点，为关于工程的面对面技术讨论提供时间，并确保GENI开发社区充分了解不断发展的系统功能集。GEC会议和演示会议为研究生提供在正式出版之前向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。这项提议支持研究仪器的开发和使用。

This project supports hosting the three day seventeenth edition of the GENI Engineering conference, including organizing and hosting the demo session, to be held July 21-23, 2013 in Madison, Wisconsin. The GEC location will be held at a Madison hotel within walking distance of the university campus and the demonstration session will be held in a university facility. 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 Madison 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 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. GENI is designed to address three issues: - Science Issues: We cannot currently understand or predict the behavior of complex,large-scale networks.- Society Issues: We increasingly rely on the Internet but are unsure we can trust its security, privacy or resilience.- Innovation Issues: Substantial barriers to at-scale experimentation with new architectures, services, and technologies.GENI addresses these issues via scale (from federation) and support for two kinds of experiments: 1) controlled and repeatable experiments, which will greatly help improve our scientific understanding of complex, large-scale networks; and 2) in-the- wild trials of experimental services that ride atop or connect to today?s Internet and that engage large numbers of human participants. The GEC conference and associated demo sessions are a key component of the integrated development process for GENI. The GECs provide integration points for GENI development, provide time for face-to-face technical discussions about engineering, and ensure that the GENI development community is fully aware of evolving system feature sets.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.
