This project supports hosting a Global Environment for Network innovations (GENI) Regional Workshop (GRW) on May 23, 2016 at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. The intent of this GRW is to continue to broaden the GENI user community, introducing new educators and researchers in the northeastern US geographic region to GENI. Four GRWs in total are planned for 2016, one held about every three months (i.e., March (most recent workshop), May (this workshop), September, and December), scattered geographically across the U.S. The proposed GRW will promote innovations in research (e.g., network science, security, services, and applications) and education (e.g., the development of new coursework assignments and projects using the GENI infrastructure). The workshop will enable participants to engage in a range of activities designed to improve their understanding of and expertise in: 1) Resources available for utilizing GENI in undergraduate and graduate education. 2) Utilizing the GENI infrastructure in experimental research, including state-of-the-art developments in wired, wireless, cloud computing, software defined networking, and network function virtualization. 3) Working through a variety of "hands on" tutorials, obtaining network and compute resources at locations around the United States. The workshop serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas, a discussion of challenges of experimentation in research and classroom settings, and a showcase for technology experimentation on GENI.

该项目支持于 2016 年 5 月 23 日在马萨诸塞州波士顿的波士顿大学举办全球网络创新环境 (GENI) 区域研讨会 (GRW)。此次 GRW 的目的是继续扩大 GENI 用户社区，将美国东北部地理区域的新教育工作者和研究人员引入 GENI。 2016 年计划总共举办四次 GRW，大约每三个月举办一次（即 3 月（最近一次研讨会）、5 月（本次研讨会）、9 月和 12 月），分布在美国各地。拟议的 GRW 将促进研究创新（例如，网络科学、安全、服务和应用程序）和教育（例如，使用 GENI 基础设施开发新的课程作业和项目）。该研讨会将使参与者能够参与一系列活动，旨在提高他们对以下方面的理解和专业知识：1）可在本科生和研究生教育中利用 GENI 的资源。 2) 在实验研究中利用GENI基础设施，包括有线、无线、云计算、软件定义网络和网络功能虚拟化方面的最新发展。 3) 学习各种“实践”教程，获取美国各地的网络和计算资源。该研讨会是交流思想、讨论研究和课堂环境中实验挑战以及展示 GENI 技术实验的场所。
