GENI Current and Continuing Activities
For discussion at GENI future planning sessions.
This list is intended to capture major activities currently underway in GENI and/or that may need to continue in order to accomplish goals of the GENI project, NSF, and/or the research community. It is a work in progress and is not believed to be final or complete.
- System Engineering & Project Management
- GENI-specific
- Coordinating GENI with other CISE mid-scale cyberinfrastructure-related efforts
- GENI Priorities and Strategic Planning
- Financial planning and allocation
- GENI subcontracting
- Ownership (legal) of GENI assets
- GENI-purchased racks, switches, WiMAX on campuses and at regionals
- Spontaneous racks
- GENI-purchased equipment at GPO
- Intellectual property – software, documentation
- Federation agreements – web of trust relationships within GENI
- Federation agreements with integrated collaborating testbeds (e.g. Emulab, ORBIT, PlanetLab)
- Federation agreements with international collaborators
- Participation as InCommon service provider
- Keeping GENI up and running
