S3MONITOR Project Status Report
Period: July 2012 to October 2012
Title: Scalable, Extensible, and Safe Monitoring of GENI Clusters
Authors:
Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University
I. Major accomplishments
A. Milestones achieved
We have completed the third programming exercise for graduate students using GENI, and refined the second exercise. We are also contacting potential instructors to use the exercises in their courses.
B. Deliverables made
The three programming exercises for graduate students using GENI are complete.
II. Description of work performed since last report
A. Activities and findings
We have completed the student handout, instructor manual and solutions for the three programming exercises. The student handouts are available on our wiki page (see C below), whereas the instructor manuals and solutions are available to instructors upon request.
B. Project participants
Sonia Fahmy, Ethan Blanton, Sriharsha Gangam, Purdue University
Puneet Sharma, HP Labs

Programming assignment on flow management with OpenFlow on GENI: http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ScalableMonitoring/openflow-geni.pdf
Programming assignment on content-centric networking on GENI: http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ScalableMonitoring/ccnx-geni.pdf
D. Outreach activities
Sonia Fahmy is serving as an Area technical program committee (TPC) chair for IEEE ICNP 2012 and IEEE INFOCOM 2013.
Sonia Fahmy and Ethan Blanton discussed the programming exercises developed with a number of faculty members from different institutions via email, phonecalls, and while attending the SIGCOMM 2012 conference.
E. Collaborations
We have had discussions with Christos Papadopoulos and Susmit Shannigrahi from Colorado State University regarding the content-centric networking exercise, and regarding using the developed exercises for the networking class at Colorado State University.
We have had discussions with Prasad Calyam and Marcio Faerman from the Ohio State University regarding developing a resource allocation exercise using the virtual desktop cloud system developed by them.
