+Valancius, and Yogesh Mundada, Georgia Tech
+
+This tutorial will demonstrate how to connect a virtual network to the BGP
+Mux facility.  Currently, the BGP Mux is deployed in a few locations, and
+we are adding more.  The tutorial will show a demonstration of a connected
+virtual network and how one can perform BGP routing from within a virtual
+network to control inbound and outbound traffic.
+
+We will show (very rough plan):[[br]]
+* Motivation and background for BGP Mux (~ 45 minutes)[[br]]
+* Connection of a virtual network to the BGP Mux via OpenVPN (~ 15 minutes)[[br]]
+* BGP configuration (~ 15 minutes)[[br]]
+* Demonstration of traffic control experiments (~ 15 minutes)[[br]]
+* Open Questions / Discussion[[br]]

+=== Seattle GENI tutorial ===
+
+Tuesday, July 20, 9am - noon
+
+[mailto:justinc@cs.washington.edu Justin Cappos], University of Washington, Seattle
+
+In this workshop we describe how to use an peer-to-peer testbed called
+Seattle (Million Node GENI).  Seattle provides researchers with access
+to computers with diverse OS types, mobile devices, nodes behind NATs
+/ firewalls, and other types of diversity not commonly seen in other
+testbeds.  Today, Seattle consists of resources on more than 2500
+computers worldwide, including a significant number of home machines.
+This workshop will describe how Seattle can be used in different
+research and educational scenarios.  
+
+We will give an overview of Seattle as a development environment and
+guide the audience in building and deploying simple Seattle
+programs. We will review available Seattle utilities including
+developer tools, educational assignments, and tutorials.

+
+=== OpenFlow tutorial ===
+
+''__Innovating in Your Network With OpenFlow: A Hands-on Tutorial__''
+
+Thursday, July 22, 1pm - 6pm
+
+Organizers: [mailto:brandonh@stanford.edu Brandon Heller], Masa
+Kobayashi, KK Yap, and Yiannis Yiakoumis, Stanford University
+
+You may have seen an OpenFlow-based demo at a past SIGCOMM or GEC
+event.  This tutorial is your opportunity to gain hands-on experience
+with the same platforms and debugging tools used to build these
+award-winning demos, as well as a number of research projects.
+
+Following an introduction, each participant will turn the provided
+NOX-based hub into an Ethernet switch, then a flow-based switch, and
+finally a firewall or router - your choice. Along the way, you'll
+learn the full suite of OpenFlow debugging tools: you'll view flow
+tables with dpctl, dissect packets with Wireshark, visualize with
+LAVI, slice with FlowVisor, and simulate a multi-switch, multi-host
+network with Mininet on your laptop.  After the tutorial, you can
+apply what you've learned in the provided VM-based software
+environment to physical networks based on software switches, NetFPGAs,
+or even hardware switches at line rate.
+
+The only requirement is to bring a laptop; no experience is required.  
+
+
+=== SPP tutorial ===
+
+''__Building Experimental Networks Using the Supercharged Planetlab Platform__''
+
+Thursday, July 22, 1pm - 6pm
+
+Organizer: [mailto:jon.turner@wustl.edu Jon Turner], Washington University, St. Louis
+
+This tutorial will provide an introduction to the Supercharged Planetlab
+Platform, now deployed as part of the GENI infrastructure.  The tutorial will
+include background on the various hardware and software components and
+the roles they play, plus a detailed description of the tools available
+to users to reserve resources and configure resources to carry out an experiment
+or demonstration. It will also include demonstrations showing the SPPs in
+action and a hands-on session during which participants will have an opportunity
+to work with the SPPs themselves. 
+
+=== ABAC mini-workshop ===
