+S3MONITOR Project Status Report
+
+Period:  July to November 2010
+
+Title: Scalable, Extensible, and Safe Monitoring of GENI Clusters
+
+Authors:
+
+Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University
+Puneet Sharma, HP Labs
+
+I. Major accomplishments
+
+A. Milestones achieved
+
+We have extended our implementation over the version demonstrated at
+the eighth GENI Engineering Conference (GEC 8).  The new version 0.3
+significantly improves the user interface and code organization over
+version 0.2. We have also developed a script to make the installation
+process smoother, based on feedback from Luisa Nevers at BBN.
+
+We are currently conducting several performance tests of the system.
+
+B. Deliverables made
+
+Version 0.3 of the system and its installation and usage instructions is complete. The project web page can be found at:
+     http://illusion.hpl.hp.com/genis3monitor/
+
+We are conducting performance tests of the system.
+
+During GEC 8 in July 2010, Sonia Fahmy participated in the meeting of the measurements working group, and gave a brief update. See:

+
+During GEC 9 in November 2010, Puneet Sharma and Sonia Fahmy participated in the meeting of the measurements working group, and gave a brief overview of the S3 API. See:
+     http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/Gec9InstMeasWGAgenda
+
+Puneet Sharma also gave an update during the meeting of cluster C (the ProtoGENI cluster):

+
+Sonia Fahmy demonstrated and presented a poster on the project during the GEC 8 evening demo session.
+
+The two PIs and two of the Purdue University students demonstrated and presented a poster on the project during the GEC 9 evening demo session.
+
+We are collaborating with several researchers on the GENI I&M specification document. Sonia Fahmy is leading the team writing the
+GENI I&M interfaces and protocols (APIs) for service management,
+working with Vic Thomas (BBN/GPO), Ivan Seskar (Rutgers WINLAB), Max
+Ott (NICTA), and Giridhar Manepalli (CNRI). Puneet Sharma is
+collaborating with Jeremy Reed from U. Kentucky and Guilherme
+Fernandes from U. Delaware on the section on GUIs.
+
+II. Description of work performed during last quarter
+
+A. Activities and findings
+
+We have continued to extend the sensor pod implementation for the
+ProtoGENI platform, and made several changes to adapt to ProtoGENI
+upgrades.
+
+We implemented the sensing information manager.  The sensing
+information manager is a data aggregation and management system that
+collects measurement data from the individual sensor pods on physical
+machines in the system. The researchers can configure periodic network
+measurements on sensor pods on various nodes in their slice. The
+collected data is stored in a database and can be queried and
+displayed.

+
+D. Outreach activities
+
+Sonia Fahmy served as the technical program committee (TPC) chair of
+ICNP 2010 and as an Area TPC chair for INFOCOM 2011.
+
+Puneet Sharma served on the TPCs of ICNP 2010 and IEEE INFOCOM 2011,
+and reviewed several measurement architecture-related papers. 
+
+E. Collaborations
+
+We participated in almost all bi-weekly Cluster C conference calls
+held since January 2010.
+
+During GEC 9, Sonia Fahmy and Puneet Sharma had several interactions
+and discussions with potential collaborators for use and deployment of
+S3Monitor in other GENI projects.
