Proposal for Organizing the 18th GENI Engineering Conference (GEC 18) Networking Event

该项目支持举办第18届GENI工程会议，包括组织和主持将于2013年10月27日至29日在纽约理工大学校园举行的演示会议。全球网络创新环境（GENI）是一种虚拟仪器，在美国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。来自美国不同机构的约250至300名顶尖研究人员和博士生将齐聚纽约，展示他们的想法和成果。在演示会话中，将为每个演示提供与GENI基础设施的有线连接。纽约大学理工学院信息技术部将为会议和演示环节提供高速和高带宽连接，供研究人员展示他们的有线和无线实验。演示场地还将提供与Internet2、National Lambda Rail和/或区域的连接，从而使研究人员和从业人员能够访问全国所有的GENI资源，以支持他们的演示需求。每个GEC演示项目都将获得临时校园无线证书，该证书将授予在演示当晚访问校园无线基础设施和商品互联网的权限。GEC会议和演示会议为研究生提供了一个机会，在正式出版之前向GENI社区展示和解释他们的工作。这是帮助新研究生了解GENI正在做什么以及他们在其他机构的同龄人中谁可能是有价值的资源的关键部分。它还支持拓展新社区成员，包括新兴的美国点燃社区。基因i已经被用作研究工具。该项目支持进一步开发和使用该研究仪器。

This project supports hosting the 18th GENI Engineering Conference, including organizing and hosting a demo session, to be held October 27-29, 2013, on the campus of the Polytechnic University of New York. 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.About 250 to 300 leading researchers and Ph.D. students from diverse U.S. institutions will gather in New York to showcase their ideas and results. In the demo session, each demo will be provided with a wired connection to the GENI infrastructure. The NYU Poly information technology department will support both the conference and demo session with high speed and high bandwidth connectivity for researchers to demonstrate their experiments, both wired and wireless. The demo venue will also provide connectivity to Internet2, National Lambda Rail, and/or regionals, thus enabling researchers and practitioners to access all the GENI resources nationwide for supporting their demo needs. Each GEC demo project will be issued with temporary campus-wide wireless credentials that will grant access to the campus wireless infrastructure and commodity Internet for the duration of the demo evening.The GEC meeting and demo sessions provide graduate students with 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 further development and use of the research instrument.
