Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) Working Session

Thursday, March 17, 2011, 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Room: Bahia 2
Session Leader: Harry Mussman, (GPO, Raytheon BBN Technologies)

Description

This session will review the key instrumentation and measurement (I&M) topics still under study by the GENI I&M community, and present the status of some prototype implementations. Each topic will be reviewed by a member of the community, and then opened for discussion and a determination of the next steps.
