Congratulations to the winners of the 22nd Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) Engineering Conference Student Competition! Five teams competed in the competition to design, build and launch a unique application using the GENI infrastructure. GENI applications are typically for software defined network controllers, network flow balancers and performance measurement and monitoring. Some applications use mini drones to provide wireless network access over a small area, and others provide advanced access to movies online. GW student participants learned about the GENI program and how to use it for advanced research in networking and computer science. The teams learned to design, code, configure and launch applications using resources from across the country. Thank you to Cisco Systems® for sponsoring the competition.
The winning teams were announced at the 22nd GENI Engineering Conference Demo Night Session on Tuesday, March 24, 2015.
The 22nd GENI Engineering Conference and US Ignite Summit brings together over 400 researchers interested in advanced networking and systems engineering from many of the most prestigious universities and government organizations in the country, as well as internationally. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), this conference brings the best minds in the field together for hands-on training, classes, tutorials and open discussion around the use and future applications of GENI resources.
