Historical documents related to the GENI Control Framework

This page contains an archive of background reading for those interested in historical development of GENI's control framework. These documents are of historic interest as they present a snapshot of architectural design concepts during GENI's Planning Group era (2006-2007). As such, they do not reflect the ongoing evolution of GENI planning and prototyping. Please consult their authors for any questions or comments you may have.
