US Ignite 2014 Application Summit

美国物联网的首要目标是打破一个根本性的僵局：对可以利用先进网络基础设施的千兆应用的投资不足，因为这种基础设施稀少且分散。相反，由于缺乏先进的应用和服务，因此缺乏广泛的先进宽带基础设施用于开放实验和创新。美国的宽带应用主要集中在先进制造业、清洁能源和交通、网络学习、健康IT和公共安全/应急准备等国家优先领域。 该计划中正在开发的许多应用程序都建立在NSF资助的高级网络和计算基础设施上，这些基础设施是NSF GENI计划的一部分。 所有这些项目都证明了高级网络的价值。 该项目支持第二届年度美国物联网应用峰会，该活动将展示目前正在开发的下一代应用，教育广大社区下一代应用功能的潜力，并为下一轮应用开发招募城市和个人。应用峰会将于2014年6月24日至27日在加利福尼亚州桑尼维尔举行。 该项目支持学术界和学生参加首脑会议，并帮助抵消主办活动和传播成果的费用。

The primary goal of the US Ignite is to break a fundamental deadlock: there is insufficient investment in gigabit applications that can take advantage of advanced network infrastructure because such infrastructure is rare and dispersed. And conversely, there is a lack of broad availability of advanced broadband infrastructure for open experimentation and innovation because there are few advanced applications and services to justify it. US Ignite applications are focused on national priority areas of advanced manufacturing, clean energy and transportation, cyber learning, health IT, and public safety/emergency preparedness. Many of the applications under development in this program build on NSF-funded advanced networking and computational infrastructure developed as part of the NSF GENI program. All of the projects demonstrate the value of advanced networking. This project supports the 2nd annual US Ignite Application Summit, an event which will demonstrate the next generation applications currently being developed, educate a broad community on the potential for next-generation application capabilities and recruit cities and individuals for the next round of application development.The Applications Summit is being held June 24-27, 2014, in Sunnyvale, CA. This project supports academic and student participation in the Summit, and helps offset the costs of hosting the event and disseminating results.
