15 | | The purpose of this tutorial is to provide hands-on experience with step-by-step guidance in designing and conducting a GENI WiMAX experiment. Participants will learn how to reserve WiMAX resources, configure a GENI WiMAX base station, and develop and execute an OMF experiment using WiMAX-equipped clients. |
| 15 | OMF (cOntrol and Management Framework) is a control, measurement and management framework for experimental platforms (aka testbeds). [[BR]] |
| 16 | |
| 17 | OMF was originally developed for the ORBIT wireless testbed at WINLAB, Rutgers University. Since 2008, OMF has been extended and maintained by NICTA (Australia) in collaboration with WINLAB. [[BR]] |

| 21 | From an experimenter's perspective OMF provides:[[BR]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | + a domain-specific language, named OEDL, which allows the user to: |
| 24 | describe the resources needed for an experiment, and their required configuration |
| 25 | describe the applications to use in an experiment, and the measurements to collect from them |
| 26 | describe the different tasks to perform during an experiment, and the time or event that trigger them |
| 27 | |
| 28 | + a set of software tools, which:[[BR]] |
| 29 | accept as an input the previously described experiment |
| 30 | initialise and configure the needed resources with the required configuration and applications |
| 31 | send commands to the resources to effectively execute the described experiment tasks at the appropriate time/events |
| 32 | collect measurement data from the applications and/or the resources |
| 33 | access and analyse the resulting experimental data |
