+e. Integrate with ProtoGENI so that calls that get resources and
+release resources work across both frameworks.    This milestone is
+contingent on agreement with ProtoGENI of what the interface should be
+no later than 18 mo. 
+}}}
+
+{{{
+f. Specification of Clearinghouse API for end-hosts:   A description
+of the interface by which the clearinghouse (SeattleGENI) interacts
+with end-hosts.   This involves describing how the node manager API is
+manipulated by SeattleGENI to track the state of resources.

+(SeattleGENI). 
+}}}

+{{{
+i. Collaborate with O&M team on methods to share non-sensitive O&M
+data with other GENI groups for Spiral 2.

+
+
+{{{
+a. Demonstration of Million Node GENI at GEC9. (Nov 5, 2010)
+
+•Demonstration will include common use scenarios along with alpha
+versions of a clicker program written in Seattle and an automatic
+deployment system.
+}}}
+
+
+== Description of work performed during last quarter ==
+
+
+We spent a large amount of time performing a proof-of-concept
+integration with ProtoGENI's component manager.   As far as we can
+tell, the service has not been used.
+
+
+We have also been very involved with outreach.

+
+
+== Publications (individual and organizational) ==
+
+We presented a paper at CCS (Computer and Communications Security)
+related to the security architecture of Seattle's sandbox.   We also
+presented a paper to the 5th International Workshop on Systems
+Software Verification (SSV '10) on the techniques we are using to
+validate the portability of Seattle programs.   One student has an
+honor's thesis on Seattle ongoing.
+
+
+
+== Outreach activities ==
+
+Seattle is currently being used in four classes which represents a
+significant support load.     We hosted a workshop / tutorial session
+located with GEC 8 which we hope will increase both educational and
+research adoption.
+
+Justin Cappos co-taught a class on GENI for Ph.D. students with Kurt
+Tutschku at the University of Vienna.  The class was attended by about
+15 students from all around Europe.  GENI (in particular Seattle and
+OpenFlow) were very well received.
+
+== Collaborations ==
+
+We have a deployment working on DOME, PlanetLab, GpENI, and done
+automated deployments on Emulab.   We are using the Digital Object
+Registry in production now.    Researchers at Nokia have ported
+Seattle to some of their newer phones.   We are working with
+researchers at the University of Victoria and HP Labs to support
+Google Native Client with Seattle.
+
+We worked with the Raven / Stork folks on a proof-of-concept port of
+Owl to Seattle.   We hosted a student intern from the GUSH group who
+is working on Seash (our GUSH-like shell) and network heterogeneity
+masking.   As a result some of our networking code may be used in GUSH
+and / or DOME.
+
+We are using the TUF updater on Seattle's beta network.   We expect to
+use it on the production network in the near future.
+
+We are working with researchers at U Vienna to build an end-host
+overlay on Seattle.
+
+We are working with an expert in model-based testing at the University
+of Washington to explore formal verification of Seattle's portability
+properties.
+
+
+== Other Contributions ==
+
+None.
