23rd GENI Engineering Conference

该项目支持主办为期四天的第23届GENI工程会议(GEC)，包括组织和主办将于2015年6月15日至18日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟校区举行的演示会议。全球网络创新环境(GENI)是一种在美国各地以原型形式迅速出现的虚拟仪器。GENI是一个旨在解决三个问题的工具：1)科学问题：我们目前无法理解或预测复杂、大规模网络的行为；2)社会问题：我们越来越依赖互联网，但不确定我们能否信任它的安全性、隐私或弹性；以及3)创新问题：前GENI存在大量障碍，无法进行新的架构、服务和技术的大规模实验。GENI通过规模(来自联邦)和支持两种类型的实验来解决这些问题：1)受控和可重复的实验，这将极大地帮助我们提高对复杂、大规模网络的科学理解；以及2)实验服务的野外试验，这些服务搭乘或连接到今天的互联网，并吸引了大量人类参与者。GEC会议和演示课程为研究生提供了在正式出版之前向GENI社区演示和解释他们的工作的机会。它是帮助应届研究生了解Geni正在做什么的关键部分，以及他们在其他机构的同龄人中谁可能是宝贵的资源。它还支持接触新的社区成员，包括新兴的美国Ignite社区。GENI已被用作研究工具；该项目支持进一步开发和使用研究工具。

This project supports hosting the four-day 23th edition of the GENI Engineering Conference (GEC), including organizing and hosting the demo session, to be held June 15-18, 2015, on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a virtual instrument that is rapidly emerging in prototype form across the United States. GENI is an instrument designed to address three issues:1) Science Issues: We cannot currently understand or predict the behavior of complex, large-scale networks;2) Society Issues: We increasingly rely on the Internet but are unsure we can trust its security, privacy or resilience; and3) Innovation Issues: Pre-GENI substantial barriers existed to at-scale experimentation with new architectures, services, and technologies.GENI addresses these issues via scale (from federation) and support for two kinds of experiments: 1) controlled and repeatable experiments, which will greatly help improve our scientific understanding of complex, large-scale networks; and 2) in-the-wild trials of experimental services that ride atop or connect to today's Internet and that engage large numbers of human participants. The GEC meeting and Demo sessions provide graduate students with both an opportunity to demonstrate and explain their work to the GENI community prior to formal publication. It is a key part of helping new graduate students understand what is being done with GENI and who amongst their peers at other institutions might be valuable resources. It also supports outreach to new community members, including the emerging US Ignite community. GENI is already being used as an instrument for research; this project supports further development and use of the research instrument.
