== Agenda / Details ==

This tutorial is designed to help bridge the gap between the 'toy' [wiki:GENIExperimenterWelcome/Repository/WiMax beginner experiments] and 'real' experiments that can lead to interesting research results. The aim is for you to leave this tutorial with an understanding of 
 * the capabilities of the WiMAX platform for evaluating experimental applications and protocols in a wireless environment
 * a sense of what the 'pieces' of a WiMAX experiment look like, and how you can use this to conduct own research in this framework

In this tutorial, participants will gain hands-on experience with step-by-step guidance in designing and conducting an experiment utilizing GENI wireless infrastructure. Participants will work in small groups to learn how to develop and execute an OMF experiment using WiMAX-equipped clients, all within the context of a non-trivial experiment from a major area of computer science or networking research. In fact, two of the three tutorial experiments are published work!

== Pre-Requisites ==

 * Active participants will need a laptop equipped with an SSH client (such as [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Putty]  for Windows) and a web browser.
 * You may also want to use an SQLite browser to view experiment data. If you don't already have one, you can download this [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/ SQLite browser Firefox extension].

== Tutorial Tracks ==

In the instructor-guided tutorial session, participants will break into small groups to learn how to use GENI WiMAX tools to design, instrument, execute, and evaluate a non-trivial research-oriented experiment.
