| | 9 | ==== Description ==== |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | Experimental platforms (aka testbeds) are instrumental in the |
| | 12 | development and evaluation of new Internet and networking |
| | 13 | technologies. OMF is a set of software tools and services which |
| | 14 | allow testbed operators to manage and optimise the use of their |
| | 15 | experimental resources, and which allow testbed users |
| | 16 | (e.g. researchers) to systematically describe, instrument, execute |
| | 17 | their experiments, and analyse their results. OMF is installed on |
| | 18 | many testbeds worldwide and within GENI (e.g. ORBIT WiMAX |
| | 19 | testbed). It supports wired/wireless based experiments, |
| | 20 | disconnection/reconnection of mobile resources, heterogeneous |
| | 21 | devices (e.g. !WiFi, WiMAX), experiments across testbeds using |
| | 22 | different control frameworks (e.g. PlanetLab and Orbit), etc... |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | This tutorial is aimed at students and researchers who would like to |
| | 25 | use OMF to streamline their approach to experiment design and |
| | 26 | execution on different testbeds and more particularly on GENI |
| | 27 | testbeds providing WiMAX resources. It is a "hands-on" tutorial, |
| | 28 | where participants will follow and reproduce the presented examples |
| | 29 | directly on the OMF-enabled ORBIT testbed. The session will include: |
| | 30 | 1) a brief overview of the OMF system, 2) a first set of tutorials |
| | 31 | on how to design and run basic experiments, 3) a second set of |
| | 32 | tutorials on how to instrument resources, collect measurements via |
| | 33 | OML, and analyse them, 4) a brief overview of the architecture of |
| | 34 | the GENI Meso-Scale WiMAX deployment, a description of the hardware |
| | 35 | and software components and a third set of tutorials on |
| | 36 | experimentation with WiMAX based resources. |

| | 42 | ==== Please arrive with... ==== |
| | 43 | Laptop with a working SSH client |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | ==== Pre-work ==== |
| | 46 | None required. However, people who would be interested in attending the tutorial may want to visit our [http://mytestbed.net/wiki/omf/OMF_User_Guide OMF documentation pages] for more information. In addition, the tutorial materials will be made available before the session on [http://mytestbed.net/projects/omf/wiki/TutorialSessions our tutorial pages]. |

| | 49 | ==== Results ==== |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | After completing this tutorial, you will be able to describe and |
| | 52 | execute experiments using OMF. You will also be able to retrieve and |
| | 53 | analyse the measurements from these experiments. Finally you will |
| | 54 | have a crisp understanding of the GENI Meso-scale WiMAX deployment |
| | 55 | and on how to use these WiMAX resources in your experiments. |
