One-sentence layman's description:

This demo shows how can GENI/Wireless (particularly GENI WIMAX/LTE), GENI Cloud resources, and SDN work together to enhance the connected vehicle applications originally designed with dedicated short range communication (DSRC) units.

Who should see this demo?

Attendees interested in emerging connected vehicle networks and applications.

Demo description paragraph(s):

By the end of the decade, it is expected that the US Department of Transportation (DOT) will require all new vehicles to be capable of communicating with other vehicles and roadside infrastructure through wireless communications. The primary motivation of connected vehicles (CV) envisioned by the US DOT is to reduce the number of crashes that cost more 30,000 lives every year on the US highways. The crash avoidance applications supported by vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) connectivity exchange safety critical information such as speed, location and direction of movement to assess the crash risk based on the proximity of vehicles. In this demo, we will show how to exploit the GENI Wireless and Cloud resources and SDN to enhance the connected vehicle applications. Particularly, we will build a testbed along a segment of I-85 near Clemson ICAR campus. GENI WiMAX has already covered that segment of interstate. We will further build DSRC enabled RSUs along the road for vehicles to access. On-board units with both WiMAX and DSRC interfaces will be equipped on testing vehicles.

We will use SDN to enable vehicles to use all wireless networks including GENI/Wireless and DSRC enabled roadside units (RSUs). Vehicles can switch between WiMAX and RSU transparently without interrupting ongoing connections while moving along our testbed. This means that vehicles can efficiently use these networks to report their location, mobility, and status data. Such data will be aggregated in the GENI Cloud for various applications.

Demo Title: Wide-Area Monitoring of Power Systems Using DHT and GENI-Based Cloud Computing

One-sentence layman's description: This demo will show how enhanced distributed hash tables (DHTs), deployed in a distributed cloud network like GENI, can be used as a highly useful medium for real-time distributed monitoring of very large power systems using massive volumes of Synchrophasor data.

Who should see this demo? Any attendee (graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, professors and industry partners) who are interested in smart grids, distributed computing and real-time systems.

Demo description paragraph(s): The demo will show how enhanced distributed hash tables can be deployed in a distributed cloud network like GENI to form a transformatively new wide-area communication medium for executing critical, real-time monitoring and estimation functions in large electric power systems using massive volumes of Synchrophasor data. We will demonstrate how various monitoring and state estimation algorithms for keeping continuous track of a power grid, can be installed in GENI using a deadline-driven DHT system we are developing, which decouples the data communication between the grid sensors (Phasor Measurement Units or PMUs), the data processors (Phasor Data Concentrators or PDCs), and the monitoring applications. We will develop a dynamic, virtual PMU-PDC architecture in ExoGENI that can be connected to a power system testbed running at the NSF FREEDM Systems Center, located at NC State University. The connection will be completely plug-and-play. We will use this interconnection to emulate several realistic monitoring scenarios, and evaluate how DHTs can improve the resiliency of monitoring against network delays and malicious data-flows. This is a collaboration between RENCI and NCSU.
