| 10 | | 1) All the graduate students who attended GREE-SC2012 are actively using GENI resources for their research projects; the work of 7 (out of the 10 students) were accepted in GREE2013, 2) we have been actively planning and advertising GREE2013, and held GREE2013 successfully, and 3) we have been actively planning and advertising GREE-SC2013. |

| | 11 | 1) All the graduate students who attended GREE-SC2012 are actively using GENI resources for their research projects, 2) we have been actively planning and advertising GREE2013 that was held successfully at the University of Utah, co-located with GEC16, 3) the papers of 7 (out of the 10 summer camp students who attended GREE-SC2012) were accepted in GREE2013 and one of them was awarded the Best Research Award at GREE2013, 4) Accepted papers of GREE2013 will appear in IEEE Digital Library, and 5) we have been actively planning and advertising GREE-SC2013. |
| 20 | | The paper presentation sessions consist of 21 papers, including 8 full papers, 11 short papers, and 2 work-in-progress papers, with a good balance between research and educational papers, achieving the goal of the workshop to promote both GENI related research and education. All the papers went through a rigorous review process. Authors with accepted papers were required to carefully address the comments from the reviewers and submit their final paper with a revision summary. [[BR]] |

| 22 | | The students who attended GREE-SC2012 contributed 7 papers to GREE2013, including 3 full papers, 3 short papers, and one work-in-progress papers. In addition, one of the full papers received the Best Research Paper Award. In general, students who attended GREE-SC2012 have done a very good job in extending what they have learned from the summer camp to their research work; in addition to the papers submitted to GREE2013, one student has already published a full-paper in a regular conference (with an earlier deadline then GREE2013), and a group of students from RIT who attended GREE-SC2012 have finished a full paper, to be submitted to another conference. Quoting from the advisor of one summer camp student, “The summer camp really gave my student a jump-start to know what is needed to start the research project.” |
| 23 | | We have set up a survey website and distributed hardcopies of the survey to attendees. The 14 responses we received showed that the program is well-received: the overall quality of the workshop is rated very good (4 out of 5), “how well the workshop meets your expectations” is rated as above very good (4.3 out of 5), and of the 13 responses to “are you going to recommend the workshop to other people”, 12 responses are positive.

| | 23 | Summer camp students (i.e., the students who attended GREE-SC2012) contributed 7 papers to GREE2013, including 3 full papers, 3 short papers, and one work-in-progress paper. In addition, one of the full papers was awarded as the Best Research Paper Award. In general, the summer camp students at GREE-SC2012 have done a very good job in extending their knowledge and skills gained from the summer camp to their research work; in addition to the papers submitted to GREE2013, one student has already published a full-paper in a regular conference (with an earlier deadline than GREE2013), and a group of students from RIT who attended GREE-SC2012 have finished a full paper that is currently under review in another conference. Quoting from the advisor of one summer camp student, “The summer camp really gave my student a jump-start to know what is needed to start the research project.”[[BR]] |
| 27 | | The summer camp organizing committee has also been actively planning for the summer camp. We have created a website for the summer camp. In addition, we have finalized the date and schedule for the summer camp and posted them on the website. We have also communicated with NSF representative (Dr. Bryan Lyles) to have a session on NSF advice to summer camp students during the summer camp, and have also contacted the instructors of the summer camp. [[BR]] |
| | 27 | The technical program of GREE2013 will be published and indexed by the Conference Publication Services (CPS), a service of the IEEE Computer Society. We contacted CPS early December 2012. Due to the tight publication of CPS, we decided to do post-workshop publication. The submission deadline of the papers to CPS is April 12, and the publication of the papers will appear shortly after the deadline. [[BR]] |
