Collaborative Research: Broadening Participation in GENI Workshop

全球网络创新环境（GENI）是一个全国性的基础设施套件，支持网络、分布式系统、安全性和新型应用程序方面的实验。该项目支持举办一组5个GENI区域研讨会（GRW），以及举办GENI网络创新者社区活动（NICE）研讨会。GENI NICE和grw的目的都是继续扩大GENI研究和实验用户社区。第二届NICE研讨会将于2016年12月与ACM新兴网络实验与技术国际会议（CoNEXT）共同举办。GENI NICE是一个为期一天的活动，重点是由研究人员和教育工作者介绍和示范他们使用GENI。GENI NICE还用于召集网络系统研究界讨论计算研究基础设施的进展。每个GRW都侧重于“动手”实验室教育和扩大社区外展；区域性活动的目的是为了接触到服务不足的教师和学生，他们无法前往不太频繁发生的地理上遥远的活动。该提案要求在2016年秋季在美国西北部增加一个GRW，并在2017年在美国各地增加四个GRW。

The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a nationwide suite of infrastructure supporting experimentation in networking, distributed systems, security, and novel applications. This project supports hosting a set of 5 GENI Regional Workshops (GRW), as well as hosting the GENI Network Innovators Community Event (NICE) workshop. The intent of both GENI NICE and the GRWs is to continue to broaden the GENI research and experimental user community.The 2nd NICE workshop will be co-located with the ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) in December 2016. GENI NICE is a one day event focusing on presentations and demonstrations by researchers and educators on their use of GENI.GENI NICE also serves to convene the network systems research community to discuss advances in computing research infrastructure. Each GRW is focused on `hands-on' laboratory education and broadening community outreach; regional events serve to reach underserved faculty and students unable to travel to a less frequently occurring geographically distant event. This proposal requests support for one additional GRW in the fall of 2016 in the Northwestern US, and four more in 2017 at various locations throughout the US.
