== Summary ==

 
== Agenda ==

== 1)  GEMINI Goals  ==
9:00am  [[BR]]

 Spiral 5:   [[BR]]
   Introduce and deploy new architecture;  [[BR]]
   maintain legacy architectures until transition to new architecture is complete;  [[BR]]  
   provide useful tools at each GEC [[BR]]

 v1.1/GEC15:  [[BR]]
   *Introduce new architecture with passive measurements;  [[BR]]
   follow basic test/tutorial/experiment workflow;   [[BR]]
   **who is responsible on GEMINI team for flow of tutorial?  [[BR]]

 v2beta/GEC16:   [[BR]]
   *Extend new architecture to include (at least) basic active network measurements;   [[BR]]
   extend analysis, presentation, storage and archiving of all measurements [[BR]]

 v2.0/GEC17:    [[BR]]
   *Add full set of active network measurements;  [[BR]] 
   follow infrastructure measurement workflow, including sharing data with others;   [[BR]]
   include ability to retrieve data from storage for further analysis and presentation [[BR]]

 Spiral 6:  [[BR]]  
   Add functions, features and refinements, based on user feedback;   [[BR]]
   integrate with other GENI tools (e.g., GENI CH Portal)    [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]

== 2)  Basic Test/Tutorial/Experiment Workflow  ==
9:15am  [[BR]]

 See [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/TestTutorialExperimentWorkflow  workflow] [[BR]]
 Sets requirements for use of tools by experimenter to instrument and measure their slice  [[BR]]
 Should be used as basis for GEC15 tutorial.  [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]

== 3)  GEMINI Definition for v1.1/GEC15 ==
9:30am

 See [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEMINIv1.1Definition  definition]  [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]
 
== 4)  Target Aggregates for v1.1/GEC15 and Spiral 5 ==
10:00am

  v1.1/GEC15:  [[BR]]
   Target ProtoGENI clusters, also InstaGENI racks  [[BR]]
   However, since InstaGENI racks are still unstable, GEC15 tutorial will target only ProtoGENI clusters, preferably Univ Kentucky.     [[BR]]

 v2beta/GEC16:   [[BR]]
   Target ProtoGENI clusters, also InstaGENI racks  [[BR]]
   GEC16 tutorial should target InstaGENI racks, preferably slices spanning multiple racks    [[BR]]

 v2.0/GEC17:    [[BR]]
  *Add target of ExoGENI racks, for slices spanning multiple racks   [[BR]]
  However, a slice does NOT need to span both types of racks   [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]

== 5)  Reference Experiments for v1.1/GEC15 and Spiral 5 ==
10:15am

  v1.1/GEC15:  [[BR]]
   Phoebus/XSP?   See [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEMINI/091412_gemini_phoebus.txt  link] (Ezra) [[BR]]
   Alternate?  (Jim)  [[BR]]

   How to orchestrate reference experiment?  consider OMF?     [[BR]]

 v2beta/GEC16:   [[BR]]
   Extended active network measurements?  include OF/L2? [[BR]]

 v2.0/GEC17:    [[BR]]
  Active network measurements, with data sharing?   [[BR]]
  Consider:  CCNIE award to IU (starting Jan, 2013), focus on distributed storage on infrastructure;  includes Phoebus, OF;  concern:  does GENI have enough storage?  (Note: ExoGENI includes storage resources) (Martin) [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]

== 6)  Introducing New GEMINI Architecture for v1.1/GEC15 ==
10:45am

 *See BLiPP, MS, NewUNIS, for Type-2 passive host measurements;  see [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEMINI/gec15-components.pptx  config]  (Ezra, Ahmed)  [[BR]]

 Introduce flexible AA between new modules and NewUNIS;  see [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEMINI/AA-workflow.png  config]  or postpone? (Ezra, Ahmed) [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]

== 7)  GEMINI Portal for v1.1/GEC15 ==
11:15am

 Use to find all GUIs;  integrate with NewUNIS  (Jim, Charles)  [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree  [[BR]]

== 8)  GEMINI Integration Plan for v1.1/GEC15 ==
11:30am

 Arrangements for source control?  (IU/UK/Jeanne)  [[BR]]

 **Who produces what modules? [[BR]]

 **Who integrates modules? [[BR]]

 Acceptance testing  (Jeanne)   [[BR]]

 **MUST make a plan, and a schedule!  [[BR]]

== Lunch ==
12noon


== 9)  Extending New GEMINI Architecture for Spiral 5 ==
1:00pm

 *New MPs, for active network measurements;  extend to OF/L2? [[BR]]

 *Extended MSs, and data flows between MPs, MSs, and MAPs   [[BR]]

 *How to configure and orchestrate?  [[BR]]

 *Local NewUNIS and global NewUNIS;  use by GENI stitching? [[BR]]

 *Data flow between slices, with authentication and authorization, for sharing measurements [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree;  when?  [[BR]]


== 10)  Extending GEMINI Measurement Analysis, Presentation, Storage and Archive Functions in Spiral 5 ==
1:30pm

 *Flexible analysis and presentation of measurements. [[BR]]

 *Push/pull to/from storage service, based on iRODS [[BR]]

 *Include descriptors, following GENI schema [[BR]]

 *Retrieve measurements from storage service, for further analysis and presentation [[BR]]

 *Define object, and move to archive service;  share with others per attached policy  [[BR]]

 **Discuss and agree;  when?  [[BR]]

== 11)  Extending GEMINI Portal Service in Spiral 5 ==
2:00pm

 Basic:  find all GUIs

 *Extended functions?

 *Access from GENI CH Portal?  or merge with GENI CH Portal?

 **Discuss and agree; when?  [[BR]]
