2. NICTA Copyright 2013From imagination to impact Context & Problem 2 Networking experiments involve more than booking resources and executing remote tasks on them Incremental cyclic process with many steps Most current tools: –cater for a subset of these steps –miss some key features –support limited types of resources –difficult to extend or replace –may not be easy to use

3. NICTA Copyright 2013From imagination to impact Goals 3 The GENI open ToolKit - GoTK 1.Develop and deploy a suite of tools to assist experimenters in performing all the tasks involved in experiment-based studies 2.Tightly integrate these tools with existing GENI APIs to ensure their deployment and use on major existing facilities 3.Publish as open standards the models and protocols used by this toolkit. Promote 3 rd party interoperable extensions or alternatives 4.Disseminate to the network research community –Design user-friendly and robust software –publishing high-quality and comprehensive documentation –partner with universities for use in networking courses

4. NICTA Copyright 2013From imagination to impact Approach Overview 4

5. NICTA Copyright 2013From imagination to impact Approach Overview 5 Adopt, Adapt, Develop Thin core (OEDL+FRCP) Modular design Consistent intuitive UI ECA approach for OEDL Various artefact stores Interface with AM & CH Many resources directly accessible via FRCP

6. NICTA Copyright 2013From imagination to impact Plan 6 Hosted toolkit services –Labwiki + plugins, AM gateway, artefact stores –Agile development process + feedback loop from user community –Continuous 1-month release cycles –Have operational capability as soon as possible –Initial hosting + quick transition to operation-dedicated project Protocols, models, and software –FRCP protocol, OEDL language, OMF resource agent software –Longer release cycle (max 3 in each year) –Release ahead of GECs to promote community adoption (demos)
