US Ignite 2015 Application Summit

美国Ignite Initiative的首要目标是打破一个根本性的僵局：能够利用先进网络基础设施的千兆应用投资不足，因为此类基础设施稀少且分散。相反，缺乏广泛的先进宽带基础设施来进行开放试验和创新，因为几乎没有高级应用和服务来证明这一点。美国的Ignite应用集中在先进制造、清洁能源和交通运输、网络学习、医疗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构建在NSF资助的高级网络和计算基础设施上，这些基础设施是作为NSF GENI计划的一部分开发的。所有这些项目都展示了高级网络的价值。该项目支持第三届美国Ignite应用程序年度峰会，该活动将展示目前正在开发的下一代应用程序，教育广大社区了解下一代应用程序能力的潜力，并为下一轮应用程序开发招募城市和个人。应用程序峰会将于2015年3月24日至25日在华盛顿特区的乔治·华盛顿大学马文中心和弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的希尔顿水晶城酒店举行。与GENI工程会议(GEC 22)以及开放网格论坛(OGF)和全球Lambda综合设施(GLIF)的会议在同一地点举行，将最大限度地发挥推动技术、教育和推广的潜力。该项目支持学术和学生参加首脑会议，以及主办这次活动和在高级网络研究和千兆应用程序开发社区广泛传播其成果的费用。

The primary goal of the US Ignite Initiative 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 3rd annual US Ignite Application Summit, an event that 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 March 24-25, 2015 at George Washington University's Marvin Center in Washington, DC and the Hilton Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, VA. Co-location with the GENI Engineering Conference (GEC 22) and meetings of the Open Grid Forum (OGF) and Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) will maximize the potential for advancing technology, education, and outreach. This project supports academic and student participation in the Summit, along with the costs of hosting the event and broadly disseminating its results throughout the advanced networking research and gigabit application development communities.
