=== Tutorial: Introduction to GENI using Flack and the Instrumentation Portal ===

==== Organizers ====

  Rob Ricci, ''Univ. Utah''; Jim Griffioen, ''Univ. Kentucky''

==== Time ====

  Tues 	1:00 - 3:00 pm 

=== Description ===
This hands-on tutorial will illustrate the GENI experimenter workflow using Flack, a graphical experiment control tool. Attendees will create and run a simple experiment using geographically distributed resources from multiple GENI aggregates. Topics to be covered include creating a GENI slice, discovering resources, adding resources to a slice, deploying experiment software, and instrumenting the experiment.

=== Prerequisites ===
A basic understanding of GENI concepts (will be covered in the Newcomers' Session)

=== Please Arrive With: ===
Laptop with recent version of Adobe Flash.  A laptop, rather than a tablet, is strongly preferred.  If you are unable to bring one you may partner with someone else.


=== Pre-Work ===
'''Note''' - Please complete this step in advance, as doing it on the day of
the tutorial will take up a lot of time.

If multiple people from the same group are attending this tutorial, one
(preferably a faculty member, PI, etc.) can start the project, and
others can join it, using a link that the project leader will receive
when the project is approved.

=== Tutorial Web Pages ===
Complete documentation for the tutorial can be found at:

   http://protogeni.net/tutorial.html

It includes step by step instructions showing how to setup a GENI slice,
instrumentize the slice, and view live traffic graphs.  

=== Results ===
After completing this tutorial, you will be able to create a slice on
multiple GENI aggregates and install tools to instrument the behavior of
that slice. The account that you create for the tutorial is a real GENI
account, and you will be able to use it to run experiments
