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.

该项目支持主办为期三天的第十七届GENI工程会议，包括组织和主办演示会议，将于2013年7月21日至23日在威斯康星州的麦迪逊举行。 GEC地点将在大学校园步行距离内的麦迪逊酒店举行，演示会议将在大学设施内举行。 GENI项目办公室每年组织三次主要的GENI工程会议（GECs），在这些会议上，整个GENI社区开会审查当前状态，并决定GENI发展的后续步骤。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。 约250名顶尖研究人员和博士来自不同美国院校的学生将聚集在麦迪逊，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。全球网络创新环境（GENI）是一种虚拟工具，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，但不确定我们是否可以信任其安全性，隐私或弹性。创新问题：GENI通过规模（来自联邦）和对两种实验的支持来解决这些问题：1）受控和可重复的实验，这将极大地帮助提高我们对复杂的大规模网络的科学理解; 2）在野外试验的实验服务，骑在上面或连接到今天？的互联网和参与大量的人类参与者。 GEC会议和相关演示会议是GENI集成开发流程的关键组成部分。 GEC为GENI开发提供了集成点，为面对面的工程技术讨论提供了时间，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了在正式出版之前向GENI社区演示和解释他们工作的机会。 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。
