US Ignite Next Generation Developers Workshop

美国的物联网努力是一项公私联合倡议，其主要目标是打破一个根本性的僵局：对可以利用先进网络基础设施的千兆应用程序的投资不足，因为这种基础设施是罕见和分散的。相反，由于缺乏先进的应用程序和服务来证明开放式实验和创新，因此缺乏广泛的先进宽带基础设施。US Telecom打算打破这一僵局，为想象、原型设计和开发公共部门千兆应用程序提供激励，并在美国校园和城市中利用和扩展这一网络测试平台。申请美国物联网应支持先进制造、清洁能源和交通、网络学习、健康IT和公共安全/应急准备等国家优先领域。 该项目将支持多达17名学者和学生参加将于2013年2月1日至2日在加利福尼亚州圣莱安德罗举行的“下一代开发人员研讨会”。 本次研讨会的目的是促进一个长期的，高层次的开发人员社区，以推进下一代互联网应用程序的创建，特别是那些使用SDN技术的应用程序。私营企业和NSF全球网络创新环境（GENI）项目正在取得重大的SDN和网络虚拟化进展。 GENI通过允许构建虚拟化计算和通信的自定义组合来进一步扩展虚拟化功能。然而，利用这些进步来概念化下一代网络应用程序及其功能的过程是滞后的。 研讨会将确定现有和新兴的标准，API，工具，教育材料和示例，这将有助于扩大美国物联网开发社区，并使现有成员参与他们可能没有意识到的能力。 该研讨会将开发可共享的问题列表，障碍，教育材料，缺少的API以及创建下一代应用程序的其他障碍。此外，该研讨会将使教师和学生参与了解与美国物联网相关的技术问题的过程，并参与开发变革性应用程序的过程。

The US Ignite effort is a joint public/private initiative with the primary goal of breaking a fundamental deadlock: there is insufficient investment in gigabit applications that can take advantage of advanced network infrastructure because such infrastructure is rare and dispersed. And conversely, there is a lack of broad availability of advanced broadband infrastructure for open experimentation and innovation because there are few advanced applications and services to justify it. US Ignite intends to break this deadlock by providing incentives for imagining, prototyping, and developing public sector gigabit applications and by leveraging and extending this network testbed across US campuses and cities. Applications for US Ignite should support national priority areas of advanced manufacturing, clean energy and transportation, cyber learning, health IT, and public safety/emergency preparedness. This project will support participation of up to 17 academics and students in a workshop, the "Next-Generation Developers Workshop," to be held February 1-2, 2013 in San Leandro, CA. The workshop purpose is to catalyze a long-term, high-level developer community to advance the creation of next generation Internet applications, especially those that make use of SDN technology.There is significant SDN and network virtualization progress being made by private industry and the NSF Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI)project. GENI further extends virtualization capabilities by allowing the construction of custom combinations of virtualized computation and communication. However, the process of using these advances to conceptualize next generation network applications and their capabilities is lagging. The workshop will identify existing and emerging standards, APIs, tools, educational materials, and examples that will help enlarge the US Ignite development community and engage existing members in capabilities they may not have realized were available. The workshop will develop sharable lists of issues, barriers, educational materials, missing APIs, and other impediments to creating next generation applications. In addition, the workshop will engage faculty and students in the process of understanding the technology issues associated with US Ignite and in the process of developing transformative applications.
