Workshop: Spring 2013 Future Internet Architecture investigator meeting

该奖项支持在2013年3月举行的未来互联网架构（FIA）首席研究员（PI）会议。pi将讨论两个主题：首先是nsf资助的每个项目可能部署和演示的可能环境。受资助的项目预计将产生一个可运行的原型，可用于在将这些想法付诸实践时获得操作经验。这次会议将汇集来自不同项目的研究人员和代表不同可能示范环境的专家。研讨会的第二个主题是评估被提议的体系结构的挑战。会议将包括围绕建筑评估的不同方面的一系列讨论，因为项目将自己定位为评估他们的设计。智力价值：对演示环境的讨论将汇集外部专家和项目领导，将有助于对各种用户社区在将网络技术纳入其领域时所面临的问题和问题达成共同的理解。关于评估的讨论将为系统地研究如何评估体系结构建议以及论证一个或另一个设计“更好”或更适合目的的问题奠定基础。今天的计算机科学领域还没有一个公认的方法或途径来评估复杂的、多维的需求空间中的设计建议。更广泛的影响：NSF FIA工作的更广泛的目标是增强NSF资助的网络研究的相关性和影响，丰富网络研究社区的知识，以及对互联网未来的新概念和思想领导的贡献。FIA的努力，特别是研讨会，是在长期建筑思维实践中培养一批学术网络研究人员的一种手段。该计划有潜力为未来的互联网做出贡献，使其在物质上更安全、更强大、经济上更可行，并比今天的互联网更适合社会需求。本次研讨会的结果将在国际汽联网站上公布，以供公众传播，这将是对这一更广泛目标的贡献。

This award supports a Future Internet Architecture (FIA) principal investigator (PI) meeting in March 2013. The PIs will discuss two topics; the first is of possible environments in which each of the NSF-funded projects might be deployed and demonstrated. The funded projects are expected to produce a running prototype that can be used to gain operational experience with the ideas as they are reduced to practice. This meeting will bring together the investigators from the various projects and experts representing various possible demonstration environments. The second topic of the workshop is the challenge of evaluation of proposed architectures. The meeting will include a series of discussions around different aspects of architecture evaluation, as the projects position themselves to evaluate their designs.Intellectual Merit:The discussions of demonstration environments, which will bring together outside experts and project leadership, will contribute to a shared understanding of the problems and issues that various user communities face as they incorporate networking technology into their domains. The discussions of evaluation will lay the groundwork for a methodical study of the question as to how to evaluate architectural proposals and argue that one or another design is 'better', or more fit for purpose. The field of computer science today has no agreed method or approach to the evaluation of design proposals in a complex, multi-dimensional requirement space.Broader Impacts:The broader goal of the NSF FIA effort is enhancing the relevance and impact of the NSF-funded network research, intellectual enrichment of the network research community, and the contribution of new concepts and thought leadership to the future of the Internet. The FIA effort, and the workshops in particular, are a means to train a cohort of academic network researchers in the practice of long-range architectural thinking. The program has the potential to contribute to a future Internet that is materially more secure, robust, economically viable, and fit for the needs of society than the Internet of today. The results of this workshop, which will be posted on the FIA website for public dissemination, will be a contribution to this broader goal.
