GENI is an experimental facility designed to allow experiments on a wide variety of problems in communications, networking, distributed systems, cyber-security, and networked services and applications. The emphasis is on enabling researchers to experiment with radical network designs in a way that is far more realistic than they can today. This talk will focus on Internet2's involvement and support for the GENI facility, from dynamic access to facilities for researchers, to providing and supporting wave capabilities for wide area projects proposing radical designs.

Rick Summerhil is currently working as Chief Technology Officer in Internet2.

Sue Moon is currently working a faculty of computer science of KAIST.

Abstract : New generation network R&D by clean slate approach is started world wide such as GENE in US and AKARI in Japan. Following these trendes, JGN2plus, a new testbed for an advaned networking and application R&D, has been started from April 2008 by NICT. Therefore, we are looking for flexible architecture for testbed network which is used for proof of concept of a new generation networking R&D while supporting existing applications. Also testbed should be consistant with API although we want to keep introducing new technology. A service platform based on a servie oriented architecture seems to be one of the candidate for flexible architecture. In this talk, we will talk about the current status of JGN2plus service platform architecture.

Korean government has made an active investment on the RFID/USN areas in a bid to lead the evolution into the ubiquitous society and to build up the foundation for national economic property. In this vein, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) and the Incheon Metropolitan City have made a massive investment (total US$313.9million) to establish the World’s Best Infrastructure Facility(Korea RFID/USN Center : http://www.ruc.or.kr) for RFID/USN technologies with the size of building site amounting to 874,830ft2 in the Incheon Free Economic Zone of Songdo International City from 2006 to 2010.

Korea RFID/USN Center provides comprehensive testing facilities and provision of high quality infrastructure Facility services. RUC consists of 2 main facilities. One is USN Fab and another is RFID/USN Engineering Lab. The major function of USN Fab is MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) Sensor Development and Manufacturing. USN Fab has a clean room and utility la b(cleanliness : class 10 ~ 1,000) and private rooms for customers. The RFID/USN Engineering Lab provides packaging and assembly services for prototype RFID/USN products and supporting technology for designing RFID/USN product such as Tag, Readers, etc. It also provides RFID/USN performance Testing, reliability, standards certification and field testing. Therefore, RFID/USN Lab provides one-stop service through out the all of RFID/USN value chain, from RFID/USN product design to actual production process.

In year 2008, RUC will connect to the KOREN to build research environment for common use for the member of KOREN. This connection will provide remote test and research environment to the research labs, companies, and institutions such as fundamental technology and service test, evaluation, interlocking, low level H/W interoperability without visiting RUC. Also, in near future, we wish to expand and share our remote research environment to the Asia-Pacific region by connecting intercontinental research network.
