+'''Title:''' Slice creation, resource allocation, and management using [http://myslice.info MySlice]
+
+'''Presenters:''' Jordan Augé and Loïc Baron
+
+'''Affiliation:''' LIP6 lab (UPMC and CNRS) and the !OneLab and FIT
+experimental facilities
+
+'''Abstract:'''
+Lowering the entry cost for experimenters is an important objective to
+favor the usage of federated facilities, including the ability to
+provide a transparent access to various valuable tools and services.
+We present !MySlice (http://myslice.info), a slice management tool that
+provides experimenters with access to the SFA-based federation of
+testbeds. The tool natively provides the essential SFA functionality
+while its innovative modular framework easily accommodates
+community-developed tools that extend this functionality to cover the
+full experiment lifecycle. !MySlice offers three experimenter-facing
+interfaces. First, there is a web-based GUI for general users that
+allows easy incorporation of contributed plug-ins that are built using
+PHP and !JavaScript. Second, an XML-RPC web services interface caters
+to power users. Third, a Python core enables developers of experiment
+control tools to take advantage of !MySlice's built-in handling of SFA
+authentication and authorization, and RSpec coding and parsing. As an
+example of !MySlice's extensibility, and its ability to easily
+interface with a wide range of different tools on the back end, we
+describe how it integrates !TopHat, an aggregator of data, such as
+network measurements and system information, that enrich an
+experimenter's view of his or her slice. As an open source project,
+!MySlice is being adopted by numerous testbeds, and plug-ins developed
+for some testbeds are proving useful for others. This is joint work,
+developed in part under the GENI Understanding Federation grant to
+Princeton University, The University of Tokyo, and UPMC. Major funding
+for !MySlice comes from European Union (!OneLab2, NOVI, !OpenLab, FIBRE)
+and French government (F-Lab) grants, and its development has been
+accomplished in collaboration with INRIA and other partners of those
+projects.
