22 | | An experiment lives in a ''slice'' and experiments in one slice are isolated from experiments in other slices. |
23 | | |
24 | | |
25 | | This is possible because of the concept of a ''slice'' in GENI. A slice consists of GENI resources (compute resources, network links, etc.) and a GENI experiment uses the resources in a slice. |

27 | | |
28 | | the set of GENI experimenters entitled to act on those resources. A slice belongs to a single project, and can have multiple members. A project can have multiple slices. |
29 | | * Experiments live within slices i.e. they use resources reserved by their slice. |
30 | | * Slices isolate experiments. GENI is a shared testbed and slices ensure experimenters do not interfere with one another. |
31 | | * Experimenters are responsible for their slice and will be held accountable for any adverse behaviors by experiments in their slices. |
| 20 | * A unit of access control. The experimenter that creates a slice can determine which project members have access to the slice i.e. are members of the slice. The project lead is automatically a member of all slices created in a project. |
