Goals of NSF Workshop
• Discuss a compelling research agenda
that has a major contribution from our
community
• Specify requirements for an experimental
infrastructure of the future
• Identify what infrastructure this
community can contribute
Sept 29-30, 2005 Cambridge, MA 4
NSF Workshop Outputs• Report to the National Science Foundation • Get communities to work together
– Network architects and security experts
– Network architects and distributed systems researchers
– Theoreticians and Practitioners
• Report that communicates excitement, rationale to broader
research community
• Help NSF & other agencies to fund and promote agenda
– Bring focus of existing research programs to new
initiatives
Sept 29-30, 2005 Cambridge, MA 5
Broader Planning Efforts• Planning Grants FY04
– Disruptive network innovations via network virtualization
– Optical integration and implications on optical networking
• Planning Grants Awarded FY05:
– Clean-slate network security (Darleen Fisher)
– End to end network architecture (Guru Parulkar)
– Wireless mobile and sensor networks (Joe Evans)
– Distributed systems & Operating Systems(Brett D. Fleisch)
– Real time networked systems and CIP (D. Helen Gill)
Sept 29-30, 2005 Cambridge, MA 7
GENI Initiative• New Initiative called Global Environment for
Networking Investigations or GENI – Explore new networking capabilities that will advance
science and stimulate innovation and economic growth.
– Advance significantly the capabilities provided by networking and distributed system architectures.
– Intended to catalyze a broad community effort that will engage other agencies, other countries, and corporate entities.
– GENI comprises two components:• 1) the GENI Research Program and • 2) the experimental GENI Facility
Sept 29-30, 2005 Cambridge, MA 8
GENI Initiative• The GENI Initiative envisions the creation of new
networking and distributed system architectures that, for example:– Build in security and robustness;– Enable the vision of pervasive computing and
bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds by including mobile, wireless and sensor networks;
– Enable control and management of other critical infrastructures;
– Include ease of operation and usability; and– Enable new classes of societal-level services and
applications.

GENI FundingComponents:
1) the GENI Research Program and2) the experimental GENI Facility
• GENI Research Programs will be funded by a refocus of existing programs such as:
– NeTS– CyberTrust– Computing Research Infrastructure and – Distributed Systems and Operating Systems
• MREFC is one of the options for funding the GENI Facilities
Sept 29-30, 2005 Cambridge, MA 11
MREFC ($202 M FY 04 Request)
• NSF-wide; see NSB 02-190:– www.nsf.gov/nsb/documents/2
003/start.htm
• Projects > 10% of Directorate budget (about $100 M for MPS $60M for CISE)
• Extensive reviews• NSB approval required
• MPS MREFC Projects– National High Magnetic
Field Laboratory (NHMFL)– Green Bank Telescope
(GBT)– Gemini Telescopes– Laser Interferometer
Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)
– Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)
– IceCube
Sept 29-30, 2005 Cambridge, MA 12
Impact
• Research agenda and Report by this community will affect the FY07 CSR solicitation
• Review Panels will be structured to have cognizant participants from this community
• Experimental facility requirements would feed into GENI Facility planning (MREFC project descriptions)– Program Directors will work with the this community to make this
happen
• Compelling experimental infrastructures to be built or contributed by this community will also feed into the GENI facility planning– NSF would reserve funds for building these distributed
infrastructures
