| 12 | I. Major accomplishments |
| 13 | |
| 14 | A. Milestones achieved |
| 15 | |
| 16 | We have completed a new version 1.0 of the Scalable Sensing Service |
| 17 | system, and demonstrated it at GEC 10. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | We have developed a script and documentation to make the installation |
| 20 | process smoother, based on feedback from Luisa Nevers at BBN. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | We have started planning for deployments spanning the ProtoGENI, PlanetLab, and ORCA control frameworks. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | We have completed several performance tests of our system. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | B. Deliverables made |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Version 1.0 of the system, and its installation and usage instructions |
| 29 | was completed. The project web page that includes links to download |
| 30 | the code and the installation/user guides can be found at: |
| 31 | http://illusion.hpl.hp.com/genis3monitor/ |
| 32 | |
| 33 | A demo portal to the system has been deployed at: |
| 34 | http://mirage.hpl.hp.com:8080/s3monitor/login.jsp |
| 35 | |
| 36 | We have completed initial performance tests of our system. Version |
| 37 | 1.0 of our performance evaluation report can be found at: |

| 39 | |
| 40 | During GEC 10 in March 2011, Puneet Sharma and Sonia Fahmy |
| 41 | participated in the meeting of the measurements working group, and |
| 42 | gave a demo during the GEC evening demo session. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | II. Description of work performed since last report |
| 45 | |
| 46 | A. Activities and findings |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Version 1.0 was completed. The version includes the following features: [[BR]] |
| 49 | 1. Adding option to upload manifest [[BR]] |
| 50 | 2. Adding an administrator interface to manage user accounts [[BR]] |
| 51 | 3. Improved user interface [[BR]] |
| 52 | 4. Improved code organization [[BR]] |
| 53 | 5. Deployment on Planetlab nodes |
| 54 | |
| 55 | We have completed an installation guide and user guide for the system |
| 56 | and portal. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | We have completed an initial report on the performance evaluation of |
| 59 | the system. This includes measuring network, CPU, and disk overhead. |

| 83 | Sonia Fahmy is serving as an Area TPC chair for INFOCOM 2011, INFOCOM |
| 84 | 2012, and ICNP 2011. She is serving on TPC of CSET 2011. Puneet |
| 85 | Sharma is serving on the TPCs of IEEE INFOCOM 2011 and ICNP 2011 TPC, |
| 86 | and is the co-Chair of the Energy Efficient Networking Track at IEEE |
| 87 | ICCCN 2011. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | The HP Labs team attended the IEEE GLOBECOM conference in December and |
| 90 | presented the paper mentioned in C above. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | E. Collaborations |
| 93 | |
| 94 | We participated in almost all bi-weekly Cluster C conference calls |
| 95 | held since January 2010. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | During GEC 10, Sonia Fahmy and Puneet Sharma had several interactions |
| 98 | and discussions with potential collaborators for use and deployment of |
| 99 | S3Monitor in other GENI projects. |
