It's our pleasure to announce the upcoming third GENI Engineering Conference (GEC3) to be held in Palo Alto in October 28-30, 2008. We want to thank our host, HP Labs for their generosity for hosting this event at their facility.

The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a suite of faciliites, now in the design and planning phase, that will support network science and engineering experiments. GENI will support research from diverse disciplines across computer and information science and engineering, as well as from economics and the social sciences. A series of prototypes created by spiral development will "co-evolve" trial experimental infrastructures with the evolving research agenda, and will serve to drive down technical risk and increase community insight into the research utility of various types of facilities.

The GENI Engineering Conference is the GPO's regular open working meeting to support design, planning, construction and operation of the GENI facilities. It is the place where researchers, developers, industrial and international partners and the GENI Project Office regularly meet to advance infrastructure planning and prototyping. Although research is a primary driver for creating the GENI facility, the GENI Engineering Conference focuses on how to design and build a suite of infrastructure that can best inspire and support creative research. The conference is open to all.

Travel Grants:
The GENI Project Office expects to have funding to support travel grants. Priority for these grants will go to individuals who improve participant diversity based on geographic region, gender, ethnicity, stage of career, or technical expertise. Travel Grant Applications are due by 5 September, but late applications will be considered if funding remains. For more information on how to apply, please see the Travel Grant Application guidelines. For information on travel reimbursement after the conference, please refer to the following Travel Reimbursement Guidelines.
