= Aggregate Developers' Topics  =
At this developers session, we will discuss several issues relating to
developing GENI aggregates and standardizing aggregate behavior. Specific topics are expected to include the status of the Aggregate Manager API and RSpecs, introducing the problem of a Common Execution Environment, VLAN stitching implementation status, and providing common secure authorization for tools. This session will begin conversations that will be continued at the [wiki:GEC16Agenda/CodingSprint Coding Sprint] session.
