  2. Outline Goals of NSF Workshop NSF Workshop Outputs Broader Planning Efforts Results of Planning Grants Impact GENI Introduction MREFC Information

  3. 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

  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

  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)

  6. GENI Initiative

  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

  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.

  9. GENI Research Scope Distributed Systems Building higher-level service abstractions Building new services and applications Theory Networking Developing new network architecture theories Creating new core functionality Developing enhanced capabilities Deploying and validating new architectures

  10. GENI Funding Components: • the GENI Research Program and • 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

  11. NSF-wide; see NSB 02-190: www.nsf.gov/nsb/documents/2003/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 MREFC ($202 M FY 04 Request)

  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

  14. MREFC • Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) • Supports the implementation of major research facilities and equipment • Provides unique capabilities at frontiers of Science and Engineering

  15. MREFC Funding Criteria • Exceptional Opportunity to enable research and education • Project should be transformative in Nature • Potential to shift the paradigm in • Scientific Understanding and/or • Infrastructure technology
