PhantomNet Users' Workshop

该项目旨在支持为新创建的PhantomNet移动测试床的潜在用户举办为期1.5天的研讨会，该研讨会得到了NSF CISE研究基础设施(CRI)社区基础设施奖的支持。该研讨会将于2014年秋季在犹他大学校园举行。PhantomNet是一个试验床设施，旨在使研究和教学能够在移动网络、云计算和软件定义网络的交叉点上进行。PhantomNet利用久经考验的Emulab试验台控制堆栈，并与犹他大学的Emulab实例集成。研讨会有两个主要目标。首先是让该设施的潜在用户亲身接触到试验床，使他们能够了解PhantomNet如何用于他们的研究和教学。第二种方法是从目标用户社区获取有关测试床所需功能的输入，以使PhantomNet团队能够确定项目剩余部分的开发任务的优先级。由于所有学术机构都可以免费远程使用，PhantomNet作为此次研讨会的一部分提供的实践教学预计将在对现代社会至关重要的领域为教师和学生提供更好的装备。此外，在设施开发的较早阶段从用户社区获得意见将有助于PhantomNet团队调整他们的开发优先事项，以更好地服务于社区需求。

This project aims to support a 1.5 day workshop for potential users of the newly created PhantomNet Mobile Testbed, that is being supported by an NSF CISE Research Infrastructure (CRI) Community Infrastructure Award. This workshop will be held on the campus of the University of Utah in fall 2014. PhantomNet is a testbed facility aiming to enable research and teaching at the intersection of mobile networking, cloud computing and software defined networking. PhantomNet leverages the time-tested Emulab testbed control stack and is integrated with the Emulab instance at the University of Utah. There are two primary goals for the workshop. The first is to provide potential users of the facility with hands-on exposure to the testbed to enable them to understand how PhantomNet can be used in their research and teaching. The second is to garner input from the target user community about the desired functionality of the testbed to enable the PhantomNet team to prioritize development tasks for the remainder of the project. As it is freely and remotely available to all academic institutions, the hands-on teaching that PhantomNet enables as part of this workshop is expected to better equip teachers and students alike in domains that are critically important to modern society. In addition, getting input from the user community relatively early in the development of the facility will help the PhantomNet team adjust their development priorities to better serve the community needs.
