Workshop Abstract
During the second day of the workshop we will focus on six technical areas in the design and development of a future Internet:
Driven by the vision of future Internet applications, invited participants from different communities will exchange ideas and jointly identify key requirements in each of the technical areas, for both research experimentation and industry participation under the GENI program. Based on the conclusions from the requirement sessions, a set of recommendations to the industry as well as the GENI community will be presented and later documented as a workshop technical report.

Track Abstracts
Decentralization (presentation) top
Session Leads: Rita Wouhaybi and David Reed
Decentralization of services is a disruptive force that promotes innovation, new markets, and end-user value, often while displacing the economics of traditional service providers. Hence, decentralization faces serious challenges for provider adoption. As an innovation platform GENI encourages the introduction of decentralized services. The concern, though, remains as to how such services can be different on GENI, allowing “traditional” operators to offer competitive services and thus adopt decentralization architectures. This track will examine emerging usage models based on decentralization, debate the challenges of decentralization on current business models and network architectures, and develop requirements for GENI to transition to a future Internet capable of supporting decentralized services broadly for commerce and social benefit.

Intelligent High Capacity Networks (presentation) top
Session Leads: Biswanath Mukherjee
Many emerging applications require that geographically-distributed devices be connected by high-bandwidth pipes (with quickly-reconfigurable capacities). Optical fibers, which support enormous transmission capacity, are deeply imbedded in our network infrastructures; however, the design of the corresponding intelligent, efficient, and robust switching systems and network architectures are important and challenging problems for the future Internet. The objective of this track is to determine the future R&D needs and opportunities in high-capacity (optical) networking with special emphasis on application-driven architectures and holistic design involving broadband access. This track will address important research challenges, both fundamental and technological, which are likely to be at the forefront of intelligent high-capacity networks for many years to come.

Manageability (presentation) top
Session Leads: John Vicente and Ben Yoo
Manageability was not an integral part of the Internet's original design, and was introduced incrementally over time due to scaling and network complexity demands. As a consequence, management solutions and provisioning models were developed assuming physical and technical boundaries among the different entities. Moreover, numerous tools have been developed for managing and provisioning the different elements with pointed success, while complexity and end-end challenges exacerbated. In this track, attendees will discuss both the traditional challenges and emerging complexities affecting the Internet network structure and propose redirections in management infrastructure and solutions; identifying required areas of breakthrough research.

Mobility and Wireless (presentation) top
Session Leads: Dina Papagiannaki and Prasant Mohapatra
Traditional PC-based computing and communications has shifted to smaller handheld devices that facilitate mobility while providing application support. The proliferation of such devices and their rate of growth have far outpaced any other recent advances in technology. Thus, wireless networks and user mobility will be two key factors driving the architecture, operations, and commercialization of the future Internet.
In this track we will discuss the challenges in designing a worldwide testbed that can facilitate research in such a domain, how we can facilitate research with technologies that are not open, and what the role of the industry should be. Attendees will articulate such requirements and make suggestions as to how we can make solid steps toward meeting these goals.

Internet Architecture (presentation) top
Session Leads: Mic Bowman Larry Peterson
The basic principles of Internet architecture have remained largely unchanged for the last 30 years. That architecture facilitates tremendous growth and innovation in applications and communication technologies. But its very strength, the isolation of physical access protocols from applications, limits the development and adoption of new Internet architectures and technologies (e.g., the slow adoption of IPv6). This track will examine the challenges of developing and ultimately deploying new architectures for the Internet.

Trust vs. Anonymity (presentation) top
Session Leads: Hong Li, Jesse Walker, and Felix Wu
Identification is critical to enabling trust management for Internet communications as many forms of identity are being used today, and the Internet and commercial applications suffer from abuse/attacks in the identity system. Incremental changes such as IPsec or NAT addressed some trust issues but a right model to manage trust is needed for future Internet architecture.
