The Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) and European facility for Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) infrastructures have been built for exploring future Internet at-scale. They support at-scale experimentation on shared and heterogeneous GENI and FIRE resources among multiple users, permits users deep programmability throughout the network, and offers collaborative and exploratory environments for innovative research and education. More and more researchers, educators, and students have started or are starting to conduct research and educational experiments on the GENI and FIRE infrastructures. Please refer to http://www.geni.net and http://www.fed4fire.eu for more information.
The FGRE summit will be held in Ghent, Belgium on July 11-15, 2016. It consists of a keynote speech, tutorials, hands-on experiments, and team projects. The summit will provide participants opportunities to learn and use the various resources and tools available in Fed4FIRE and GENI environment. Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty member at different-level colleges and researchers from industry (both SME and large companies) are welcome to participate.
