This work includes the following items. 1) A virtualized operating system on the vehicular computers using Xen, which will allow for the isolation of experiments and customization of the operating environment, as well as permitting each experiment to begin from a known configuration. 2) Virtualized access to attached devices, including a 802.11 radio, GPS, and 900 MHz radio on each bus. 3) Standardized, general GENI mechanisms to authenticate users, install customized software and experiments, schedule DOME resources, and to log results. 4) Integration, deployment and access to GENI users.

List should include any document in the working groups, as well as other useful documents. Projects may have a full tree of wiki pages here.[[BR]] '''Spiral 1 Connectivity''' List links to wiki pages about details of infrastructure that the project is using or plans to add (if any). Examples include IP addresses, hostnames, URLs, DNS servers, local site network maps, VLAN IDs (if permanent VLANs are used), pointers to public keys. This page may also include ticket links for pending or known connectivity issues. Many projects will have a full tree of wiki pages here.[[BR]] Location of equipment: For Spiral 1, all work will be done via a lab at UMassAmherst. However, the intention of this project is deploy equipment on mobile nodes in !DieselNet (see [http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/dome the DOME web site] for a description of !DieselNet's current deployment.). Some engineering to prepare for mobile deployment will also be conducted during Spiral 1. Layer 3 Connectivity: IP access will be through UMass Amherst's campus network, using their public IP addresses. Layer 2 Connectivity: There is currently no usable layer2 connection to the UMass Amherst lab available for GENI. The project is investigating the possibility of installing local fiber that could enable a connection to NLR through an appropriate regional network. If installed this fiber would support both the [wiki:DOME] and [wiki:ViSE] projects in Spiral 1 and in later stages that include support for mobile nodes. Layer 2 ethernets will not extend to the !DieselNet nodes, due to limitations in the existing deployed systems, but IP tunnels to the layer 2 VLAN termination points should be feasible for connecting mobile endpoints to the GENI virtual ethernets.
