| 22 | ==== Meeting Summary ==== |
| 23 | ===== Mark Berman: Experimenter Tools - Taxonomy and Coverage ===== |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Mark Berman described a taxonomy of experimenter tools: |
| 26 | * Resource discovery and experiment configuration |
| 27 | * Long-lived experiment maintenance |
| 28 | * Software distribution |
| 29 | * Instrumentation |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Mark also gave his assessment of which areas are reasonably well covered by existing tools (eg. Gush, Flack, Raven, omni), and which areas need more attention. See [attachment:wiki:GEC11NewTopics:NewTopicsExperimenters.pdf Mark's slides] for more details and a coverage analysis within that taxonomy. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Mark also discussed the need for an ongoing dialog between aggregate developers and tool developers to develop a useful set of APIs for both groups. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ===== Harry Mussman: Integrate I&M Work Products ===== |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Harry Mussman described three ways that GENI developers could leverage the work of the I&M group: |
| 38 | * Use available I&M tools and services to instrument GENI infrastructure |
| 39 | * Use the User Workspace and Digital Object Archive services for all objects associated with an experiment, not just measurement data |
| 40 | * Adapt the MDOD schema, including "transaction logs", to track assignment of resource objects in an Aggregate Manager to an Experimenter |
| 41 | |
| 42 | See [attachment:wiki:GEC11NewTopics:NewTopicsInstAndMeas.pdf Harry's slides] for more details and an overview of the I&M effort. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ===== Heidi Picher Dempsey: Tools to Improve Operations ===== |
| 45 | Heidi Picher Dempsey suggested seven areas of new work that would be beneficial to GENI Campuses and Operations, and described each in detail. |
| 46 | * Resource Access and "Opt-in" |
| 47 | * Resource Isolation |
| 48 | * Experiment Topology |
| 49 | * Emergency Stop could use an automatic programmed interface to GENI components |
| 50 | * Relating GENI URNs to people |
| 51 | * Relating all GENI "objects" is too hard |
| 52 | * Security and data privacy for sharing and monitoring |
| 53 | |
