This project supports hosting the 24th edition of the GENI Engineering conference (GEC-24), including organizing and hosting the demo session, to be held on March 8-9, 2016, on the Arizona State University's Tempe campus. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a virtual instrument that is emerging as a foundational experimental research platform across the United States. GENI aims to transform experimental research in networking and distributed systems, as well as emerging research in very large socio-technical systems, by providing a suite of infrastructure for 'at scale' experiments in future internets. GENI is an instrument designed to address three issues:1. Science Issues: We cannot currently fully understand or predict the behavior of complex, large-scale networks.2. Societal Issues: We increasingly rely on the Internet but are unsure we can trust its security, privacy or resilience.3. Innovation Issues: Substantial barriers exist 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 among 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 proposal supports the development and use of the research instrument.

该项目支持主办第 24 届 GENI 工程会议 (GEC-24)，包括组织和主办将于 2016 年 3 月 8 日至 9 日在亚利桑那州立大学坦佩校区举行的演示会议。全球网络创新环境 (GENI) 是一种虚拟仪器，正在成为美国各地的基础实验研究平台。 GENI 旨在通过为未来互联网中的“大规模”实验提供一套基础设施，改变网络和分布式系统的实验研究，以及超大型社会技术系统的新兴研究。 GENI 是一个旨在解决三个问题的工具：1。科学问题：我们目前无法完全理解或预测复杂、大规模网络的行为。2．社会问题：我们越来越依赖互联网，但不确定我们是否可以信任其安全性、隐私或弹性。3。 创新问题：新架构、服务和技术的大规模实验存在巨大障碍。GENI 通过规模（来自联邦）和对两种实验的支持来解决这些问题：1）受控和可重复的实验，这将极大地帮助改进我们对复杂、大规模网络的科学理解； 2）对实验服务进行野外试验，这些服务骑在或连接到当今的互联网上，并吸引了大量的人类参与者。 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。 它是帮助新研究生了解 GENI 正在做什么以及其他机构的同行中谁可能是宝贵资源的关键部分。 它还支持拓展新的社区成员，包括新兴的美国 Ignite 社区。 GENI 已被用作研究工具。 该提案支持研究仪器的开发和使用。
