+== Tuesday ==
+
+=== ProtoGENI Tutorial ===
+
+  Many resources are currently available through the ProtoGENI control
+  framework, including hundreds of sliced and "raw" PCs, dedicated
+  layer 2 links, tunneled layer 3 links, and a variety of wireless
+  devices. These resources are available at a number of sites through
+  the ProtoGENI federation, and are already being used by a number of
+  early adopters.
+
+  This tutorial will provide users new to ProtoGENI with the knowledge
+  they need to begin running experiments and creating slices, and will
+  introduce existing users to powerful new ways of creating and
+  controlling slices. The tutorial will begin with the process of with
+  getting an account at a ProtoGENI site, and will cover topics
+  including: discovering available resources, creating slices, binding
+  resources and users to those slices, and using the resources
+  allocated. Attendees with be given "hands on" time to create slices
+  of their own with the presenters available to answer questions:
+  attendees should come prepared with questions about the specific
+  experiments they like would like to get out of ProtoGENI.
+
+  As part of this tutorial, the "GENI Instrumentation Tools" project
+  from the University of Kentucky will give a presentation covering
+  the use of their experimenter tools to monitor the behavior of
+  slices.
+
+  Date: Tuesday, Nov 2, 9am - noon
+
+  Organizers: Robert Ricci and Jim Griffioen
+
+  Likely audience: Researchers, esp. those with EAGER grants to run experiments on
+    GENI. Materials will be similar to a tutorial at GEC8, so people
+    who attended that tutorial are not encouraged to attend this one.
+
+  Maximum acceptable attendees: 20
+
+=== Tutorial: Network Experimentation with UMLPEN ===
+
+  We will describe the architecture of UMLPEN and discuss its
+  advantages. We will demonstrate use cases of UMLPEN. We will guide
+  the users through the experimentation procedure involving UMLPEN and
+  other ProtoGENI resources.
+
+  Date: Tuesday, Nov 2, 9am - noon  
+
+  Organizers: Timothy Ficarra, Eric Murray, Sanping Li, Yan Luo
+
+  Likely audience: GENI developers and researchers
+
+  Maximum acceptable attendees: 8
+
+=== Workshop: Future of resource representations in GENI ===
+
+  This workshop is a continuation of the discussions from GEC7 and 8
+  regarding the proper abstractions and expression mechanisms for
+  representing various types of resources to GENI control frameworks
+  and user tools. Workshop consist of several invited presentations
+  and discussions on related topics. This workshop will feature
+  speakers representing OGF efforts grappling with similar issues as
+  well as those from the GENI community.
+
+  Date: Tuesday, Nov 2, 9am - noon
+
+  Organizer: Ilia Baldine
+
+  Likely audience: GENI developers
+
+  Maximum acceptable attendees: unlimited
+
+=== Workshop: GENI Instrumentation and Measurement Systems ===
+
+  This workshop will bring together developers and potential users of
+  GENI Instrumentation and Measurement systems.  Developers will have
+  an opportunity to present current and forthcoming features of their
+  I&M efforts.  Users will be able to learn about the tools that are
+  available to them, as well as providing feedback about their
+  experiments' needs.
+
+  Date: Tuesday, Nov 2, 9am - noon  
+
+  Organizer: Martin Swany
+
+  Audience: GENI experimenters and developers
+
+  Max attendees: unlimited

+
+== Thursday ==
+
+=== OpenFlow Tutorial ===
+
+  OpenFlow is an open interface for remotely controlling the
+  forwarding tables in network switches, routers, and access points
+  and becoming one of the key components used in GENI.
+
+  This tutorial is your opportunity to gain hands-on experience with
+  the platforms and debugging tools most useful for developing network
+  control applications on OpenFlow. Following an introduction, each
+  participant will create a flow-based Ethernet switch.  Along the
+  way, you'll learn the OpenFlow software suite: you'll view flow
+  tables with dpctl, dissect packets with Wireshark, programming on
+  NOX controller, simulate a multi-switch, multi-host network with
+  Mininet (emulation environment) on your laptop. The only requirement
+  is to bring a laptop; no experience is required.
+
+  Time permitting, we would include running real openflow network with
+  hardware switches, slicing with FlowVisor, the use of
+  Expedient/Opt-in Manager (GENI integration software) and other
+  controller development platforms.
+
+  After the tutorial, you can apply what you've learned to physical
+  networks based on software switches, NetFPGAs, OpenWRT, or even
+  line-rate hardware switches from a number of vendors.
+
+  Date: Thursday, Nov 4, 1pm - 6pm
+
+  Organizers: Srini Seetharaman, Masayoshi Kobayashi, Guido Appenzeller
+
+  Likely audience: Researchers interested in running experiments using
+  OpenFlow; Network operators interested in running an OpenFlow
+  network.
+
+  Maximum acceptable attendees: 50
+
+=== Tutorial: Mobility, Propagation, and Handoff challenges in VANETs: designing a Vehicular Testbed to harness these problems. ===
+
+  In the near future vehicles will be equipped with wireless
+  communications capabilities. This could happen either through the
+  installation of in-vehicle IEEE802.11p devices by car manufacturer,
+  via WiFi equipped after market Navigation devices or via PDA’s and
+  in-vehicle units that handle multiple communication technologies
+  such as WiMax, 3G and WiFi at the same time. Regardless of the
+  technology the market will promote, vehicles will soon be able to
+  communicate with each other, creating a new kind of network with new
+  requirements and design challenges. In particular, vehicular
+  networks suffer from very high speed mobility, constantly changing
+  topology, harsh propagation environments, and very large number of
+  network nodes. Hence, studying and understanding its characteristics
+  is fundamental step to successfully design applications and
+  protocols for this new communication environment.  The
+  GENI-Supported UCLA Campus Vehicular Testbed (C-VeT) at UCLA aims at
+  providing a research and development framework for VANETs that
+  allows fast protocol prototyping and evaluation through emulation
+  and, seamless, field trials.
+ 
+  The tutorial will focus on the C-VeT testbed and its fast
+  prototyping and development framework in particular we will address:
+
+    - C-VeT architecture and prototyping framework . 
+    - The role of Mobility and Propagation in Vehicular Networking Scenarios
+    - Protocol prototyping and experiment design workflow
+    - Experiment instantiation and execution workflow
+    - WiFi, 3G, WiMax in C-VeT
+    - the C-VeT Urban Sensing platform.
+    - C-Vet /OMF Integration 
+    - In-class live experiments and guided protocol deployment.
+
+  Date: Thursday, Nov 4, 1pm - 3pm

+=== ns-3 Tutorial === 
+
+  ns-3 is a relatively new simulation tool oriented towards networking
+  research.  This tutorial would introduce new users to the tool and
+  walk through several examples designed to highlight different ns-3
+  features and workflows.

+=== Tutorial: Building Experimental Networks Using the Supercharged Planetlab Platform ===
+
+  This tutorial provides an introduction to the Supercharged Planetlab
+  Platform, now deployed as part of the GENI infrastructure.  The SPP
+  is a high performance overlay hosting platform, enabling researchers
+  to deploy overlay networks capable of handling internet-scale
+  traffic volumes. 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 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.
