Collaborative Research: Broadening Participation in GENI Workshop

全球网络创新环境 (GENI) 是一套全国性的基础设施，支持网络、分布式系统、安全和新颖应用程序的实验。 该项目支持举办 5 场 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 国际新兴网络实验和技术会议 (CoNEXT) 同期举办。GENI NICE 是为期一天的活动，重点关注研究人员和教育工作者关于 GENI 使用的演示和演示。 GENI NICE 还致力于召集网络系统研究社区来讨论计算研究基础设施的进展。每个 GRW 都专注于“实践”实验室教育和扩大社区外展；区域活动旨在帮助那些服务不足、无法前往参加地点较远、举办频率较低的活动的教职员工和学生。该提案要求 2016 年秋季在美国西北部再支持一项 GRW，并于 2017 年在美国各地支持另外 4 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.
