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的第 22 届 GENI 工程会议 (GEC)，包括组织和主办将于 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的演示会议。全球网络创新环境 (GENI) 是一种虚拟工具，正在美国各地迅速投入使用，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、大规模的行为2) 社会问题：我们越来越依赖互联网，但不确定我们是否可以信任其安全性、隐私或弹性。3) 创新问题：在 GENI 出现之前，大规模试验新的互联网架构、服务、和技术。GENI 解决了这些问题通过规模（来自联邦）和对两种实验的支持：1）受控和可重复的实验，这将极大地帮助提高我们对复杂、大规模网络的科学理解； 2) 涉及大量人类参与者的长期实验服务试验。除了 GENI 的最初动机之外，人们越来越认识到虚拟化、联合软件定义基础设施（GENI 是第一个例子）是构建下一代互联网的关键技术。 GEC 会议和演示会议长期以来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 将提供一个接触更大社区的机会，以展示和解释 GENI 及其支持的技术的可能性，无论是对于计算机科学实验还是公益应用。为期四天的会议将在阿灵顿举行，弗吉尼亚。演示之夜活动将在乔治华盛顿大学科学与工程大厅（Foggy Bottom 校区）举行。
