A GENI Regional workshop (GRW) was held at Florida International University on March 13th, 2017. The GENI Engineering Conference (GEC25) followed on March 14th and 15th.
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. GRW offers an opportunity to learn about GENI and how you can use it for your education and research needs.
GENI GEC25 provided a 2-day program that provides content of general interest to experimenters, developers, and practitioners. The program was of interest to not only U.S. participants, but also potentially participants from Latin America, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
