Cognitive Radio (COGRADIO)

Demo participants: Dirk Grunwald, Ivan Seskar, Peter Wolniansky
Affiliation: University of Colorado Boulder, WINLAB/Rutgers University, Radio Technology Systems, LLC

The Geni CogRadio? project will demonstrate over-the-air data on the current SDR (2.4Ghz/5Ghz) radio using a high-performance OFDM transmitter / receiver design. We'll also have a demonstration using the next generation "WDR" radio that operates over a very wide range.

Data-Intensive Cloud Control for GENI

Demo participants: Michael Zink, Prashant Shenoy, Jim Kurose, David Irwin, Emmanuel Cecchet
Affiliation: UMASS Amherst

Demonstration of DiCloud? budgeting software on Amazon EC2 and S3.

Digital Object Registry (DIGOBREG)

Demo participants: Larry Lannom, Giridhar Manepalli, Jim French, Christophe Blanchi
Affiliation: Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI)

Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) will be demonstrating the functionality of the proposed Measurement Data Archive, which is implemented using the Digital Object Architecture.

The Measurement Data Archive prototype system consists of two components: 1) User Workspace and 2) Object Archive. The User Workspace component is an entry point for users (e.g., experimenters, instrumentation researchers, etc.) to store and transfer measurement data, which could be in a variety of forms (e.g., formatted datasets, raw files, etc.). Data and metadata files managed in the user workspace can be archived for long-term storage in an Object Archive. Once data is archived, a persistent and unique identifier is created.

EXPERIMENTS: Clemson (Brooks)

Demo participants: Juan Deng, Ilker Oczelik, Richard Brooks
Affiliation: Clemson University

WiMAX is an evolving standard. Through simulations, we have shown that WiMAX system throughput is very sensitive to settings of two bandwidth contention parameters. ANOVA analysis of simulated DDoS attacks find that settings on those two parameters account for over 80% of the variance in system throughput. We are using the Rutgers' ORBIT testbed to verify if this correlation holds when physical radios are used. This work also serves to test the fidelity of the ns-2 simulation for wireless systems. We will first show and explain our existing results, we will also show our work to date in replicating these results with hardware-in-the-loop. We will have posters, slide presentation, and attempt to give an interactive demonstration on using the Rutgers WiMAX testbed.

EXPERIMENTS: Clemson (Shen)

Demo participants: Kang Chen, Ke Xu
Affiliation: Clemson University

Demonstration of one P2P data sharing application over Planetlab and one locality-based distributed data sharing protocol in MANETs over the Orbit platform. This demonstration will also show the data sharing application/protocol over federated networks.

EXPERIMENTS: S3I

Demo participants:
Affiliation: University of Buffalo

Demonstration of creation of SSI clusters using GENI nodes along with performance speedup (as opposed to individual nodes)

GENI/Ecalyptus Federated Resource Allocation (GENICloud)

Demo participants: Rick McGeer, Andy Bavier, Alex Snoren, Yvonne Coady
Affiliation: HP Labs, PlanetWorks, U.C. San Diego, U. of Victoria, U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Demonstration of a persistent Cloud infrastructure over multiple sites and continents, tied to the PlanetLab Control Framework.

GMOC-GENI Meta Operations (GMOC)

Demo participants: Jon-Paul Herron, Luke Fowler
Affiliation: Indiana University, Global Research Network Operations Center

GMOC visualization and integration efforts.
