GENI Engineering Conference 20

该项目支持主办为期三天的第20届GENI工程会议(GEC)，包括组织和主办将于2014年6月22日至24日在加州大学戴维斯分校举行的演示会议。GEC 20的会议和演示会都将利用大学设施、加州大学戴维斯会议中心、比勒校友中心和肯珀大厅。每年有三次GEC，整个GENI社区开会审查当前状况，并决定GENI进化的后续步骤。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至300名顶尖研究人员和博士生将齐聚GEC 20，展示他们的想法和成果。在演示过程中，将为超过35个现场演示提供到GENI基础设施的有线连接。演示晚会将在加州大学戴维斯分校会议中心的A-B-C宴会厅举行。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是一种旨在解决三个问题的仪器：-科学问题：我们目前无法理解或预测复杂、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它的安全性、隐私或弹性。-创新问题：新架构、服务和技术的大规模实验面临巨大障碍。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)在野外试验搭载或连接到今天的实验服务-S互联网和吸引了大量人类参与者的实验服务。GEC会议和演示课程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。该项目支持研究仪器的开发和使用。

This project supports hosting the three day 20th edition of the GENI Engineering Conference (GEC), including organizing and hosting the demo session, to be held June 22-24, 2014 at the University of California, Davis. Both the conference and the demonstration session for GEC 20 will make use of university facilities, the UC Davis Conference Center , Buehler Alumni Center, and the Kemper Hall. There are three 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 to 300 leading researchers and Ph.D. students from diverse US institutions will gather for GEC 20 to showcase their ideas and results. In the demo session over 35 live demos will be provided with a wired connection to the GENI infrastructure. The demo evening will be held Ballroom A-B-C (combined) in the UC Davis Conference Center. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a virtual instrument that is rapidly emerging in prototype form across the United States. GENI is an instrument 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 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 project supports the development and use of the research instrument.
