项目摘要

This project funds a workshop on mobile community measurement infrastructure to respond to the growing needs for increased visibility into network behavior to enable cutting-edge research in mobile computing. The workshop will bring together the top researchers in both academia and industry, as well as policy makers from government, to discuss the requirements for such an infrastructure and identify the concrete steps to make progress towards the identified goals. Given the diverse research topics within mobile computing, we will ensure that different research areas and all the important network layers (e.g., physical, MAC, network, transport, and application) are adequately represented at the workshop to ensure a productive outcome from the discussions.Flexible measurement infrastructure support for experimentation are critical for enabling and supporting research work with strong experimental components to help validate ideas and evaluate the design in practice. Mobile computing research work must be evaluated in as realistic network settings as possible to help researchers understand how various factors such as signal strength, network load affect the performance and energy metrics of interest. Currently, there is no environment that enables network visibility from an end-to-end perspective of the cellular network protocol stack: from the end-device all the way to the network server traversing through various network elements. The lack of such an integrated measurement infrastructure greatly hinders the innovation in this important research field. Because it is not trivial to design instrumentation to support diverse needs of researchers in mobile computing, the workshop helps define the goals and requirements of a mobile measurement infrastructure that is designed to last at least 10 years to support cutting-edge research in this space.

该项目为移动社区测量基础架构提供了一个研讨会，以响应增加对网络行为的可见性的需求，以使移动计算中的尖端研究能够。该研讨会将汇集学术界和行业的顶级研究人员以及政府的决策者，讨论对这种基础设施的要求，并确定具体的步骤，以取得朝着确定的目标取得进展。鉴于移动计算中的各种研究主题，我们将确保在研讨会上充分代表不同的研究领域和所有重要的网络层（例如，物理，Mac，网络，运输和应用），以确保讨论的富有成效的结果。对实验的实验和支持构图和支持构图的效率基础结构对实验和支持的研究至关重要。移动计算研究工作必须在尽可能实际的网络设置中进行评估，以帮助研究人员了解信号强度，网络负载等各种因素如何影响感兴趣的性能和能量指标。当前，从蜂窝网络协议堆栈的端到端角度来看，没有环境能够启用网络可见性：从端设备一直到通过各种网络元素遍历的网络服务器。缺乏这样的集成测量基础设施极大地阻碍了这个重要的研究领域的创新。由于设计工具以支持研究人员在移动计算方面的各种需求并不是微不足道的，所以研讨会有助于定义移动测量基础架构的目标和要求，该基础架构的目标和要求至少持续10年，以支持该领域的尖端研究。
