== Slice == 
A slice consists of reserved resources and the set of GENI experimenters entitled to act on those resources.
   * Experiments live within slices i.e. they use resources reserved by their slice.
   * Slices isolate experiments.  GENI is a shared testbed and slices ensure experimenters do not interfere with one another.
   * Experimenters are responsible for their slice and will be held accountable for any adverse behaviors by experiments in their slices.
