GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) provides a virtual laboratory for networking and distributed systems research and education. It is well suited for exploring networks at scale, thereby promoting innovations in network science, security, services and applications. For more information visit the GENI website.
The Sixth GENI Research and Educational Experiment (GREE) Camp will be held at Boston University (BU) from May 24-27, 2016. It follows five successful camps held at the University of Connecticut (Summer 2015), Iowa State University (Summer 2014), BBN Technologies (Winter 2014), University of Connecticut (Summer 2013), and Rochester Institute Technology (Summer 2012). It will provide participants opportunities to learn and use the various GENI resources and tools through tutorials, labs and a team-based project. The camp lasts for four days, culminating with final team presentations by the camp participants on the last day. You can take a look at final presentations from previous camps: GREE-SC2015, GREE-SC2013, and GREE-SC2012.
A limited number of travel grants are available for camp attendees. See details below. Undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty at different-level colleges are welcome to apply. Industrial attendees are welcome too. The focus of this camp is on systematic experiments. Hands-on tutorials using several GENI tools will cover systematic experiments and will also introduce other capabilities of GENI.
