This project supports the four-day and 22nd edition of the GENI Engineering Conference (GEC), including organizing and hosting the demo session, to be held March 23-26, 2015, at the George Washington University and at a nearby conference hotel. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a virtual instrument that is rapidly becoming operational across the United States and that is 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.3) Innovation Issues: Pre-GENI, substantial barriers existed to at-scale experimentation with new Internet 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) long-running trials of experimental services that engage large numbers of human participants. In addition to the original motivation for GENI, an understanding has grown that virtualized, federated software-defined infrastructures, of which GENI is a first example, are a key technology for building the next generation of the Internet. The GEC meetings and demo sessions have long provided graduate students with both an opportunity to demonstrate and explain their work to the GENI community prior to formal publication. GEC 22 will provide an opportunity to reach out to a larger community to show and explain the possibilities of GENI and the technology it enables, both for computer science experimentation and for public-benefit applications.The four-day conference will be held in Arlington, Virginia. The demo night event will be held at the George Washington University's Science and Engineering Hall (Foggy Bottom Campus).

该项目支持为期四天和22版的GENI工程会议（GEC），包括组织和主持演示会议，将于2015年3月23日至26日在乔治华盛顿大学和附近的会议酒店举行。全球网络创新环境（GENI）是一种虚拟的工具，正在迅速在整个美国运作，旨在解决三个问题：1）科学问题：我们目前无法理解或预测复杂的，大规模的网络的行为。2）社会问题。2）我们越来越依赖互联网。架构，服务和技术。基尼通过规模（来自联邦）解决这些问题，并支持两种实验：1）受控和可重复的实验，这将极大地帮助我们提高我们对复杂，大规模网络的科学理解； 2）与大量人类参与者相关的实验服务的长期试验。除了最初的GENI动机外，人们已经提高了虚拟化的，联合软件定义的基础架构（其中Geni是第一个例子）是建立下一代Internet的关键技术。长期以来，GEC会议和演示会议为研究生提供了在正式出版之前向Geni社区展示和解释其工作的机会。 GEC 22将提供机会与更大的社区联系，以展示和解释GENI的可能性及其所启用的技术，包括计算机科学实验和公共效果应用程序。为期四天的会议将在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿举行。演示夜活动将在乔治华盛顿大学的科学与工程厅（Foggy Bottom Campus）举行。
