== Agenda / Details ==

The session will cover techniques that will help experimenters:
    1. Develop and manage complex experiments.
    2. Gain a better understanding of what is happening with their experiment
    3. Ensure experiments are repeatable and reproducible.

Topics to be covered include:
    * Growing an experiment one dimension at a time (number of resources, number of aggregates, adding an OF controller, etc)
    * Install/post-boot scripts 
    * Custom images
    * Scripting experiments
    * Experiment software version control
