US Ignite 2013 Application Summit

该项目支持将于2013年6月24-26日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的美国Ignite应用程序峰会。US Ignite促进下一代应用程序的开发，以提供变革性的公共利益。申请的重点是六个国家的优先事项：教育和劳动力发展、能源、卫生、公共安全、交通和先进制造。首届美国Ignite应用程序峰会将提供第一次机会，将参与美国Ignite？S任务的社区聚集在一起，分享经验，展示成功，讨论障碍和困难，进一步吸引行业和社区，并激励学生、学者、开源开发人员和社区领袖。应用程序峰会的一个重要部分将是美国国家科学基金会资助的应用程序的演示。应用程序峰会的与会者将展示先进的网络技术，如软件定义的网络、虚拟网络、最终用户的千兆位和Geni机架在美国Ignite目标领域的实际应用。技术演示和其他峰会活动的结合将：扩大了解并能够将下一代技术应用于公益应用的社区；吸引非学术社区，包括行业实验室、联邦任务机构、基金会、风险资本家、企业家、开源开发人员和广大学生；在美国Ignite支持者中建立社区意识和共同努力，因为他们以基于角色的小组会面：城市、基金会和试验床、应用程序开发人员、技术协调和工具；并为下一年的美国Ignite努力争取参与者的支持，以确保资源广泛可用，并协调合作伙伴关系，以支持开发更多公益应用程序。

This project supports the US Ignite Application Summit which will be held in Chicago, IL on June 24-26, 2013. US Ignite fosters development of next-generation applications to provide transformative public benefit. The applications focus on six national priorities: Education & Workforce Development, Energy, Health, Public Safety, Transportation, and Advanced Manufacturing. The inaugural US Ignite Application Summit will provide the first opportunity to bring together the community involved in US Ignite?s mission to share experiences, demonstrate successes, discuss barriers and difficulties, further engage industry and communities, and inspire students, academics, open source developers, and community leaders.A significant part of the Application Summit will be the demonstration of NSF-funded applications. The Application Summit participants will demonstrate that advanced networking technologies such as software-defined networking, virtualized networks, gigabit to the end-user, and GENI racks have real applications in the US Ignite target sectors. The combination of technology demonstrations and other summit activities will: enlarge the community that is knowledgeable about and can apply next-gen technologies to public benefit applications; engage the non-academic community including industry labs, federal mission agencies, foundations, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, open source developers, and students at-large; build a sense of community and common effort within US Ignite constituencies as they meet in role-based groups: cities, foundations, and testbeds, application developers, and technical coordination and tools; and obtain participant buy-in for the next year of US Ignite efforts to ensure resources are widely available and partnerships are coordinated to support development of more applications for public benefit.
