    2 == Experiment Control Tools ==
    3 GENI experiment control tools are used to create slices, add or remove resources to slices, and delete slices.  Some tools may also help with the installation of experimenter specified software into resources in slices; starting, pausing, resuming and stopping the execution of an experiment; and monitoring of the resources in slices for failures.  Examples of GENI experiment control tools include [http://gush.cs.williams.edu/trac/gush Gush], [http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/Omni  Omni],  [http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jrex/gew/gew-sfi.ppt PlanetLab SFI] and [http://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/Flack Flack].
     2== Experimenter Tools ==
     3GENI experimenter tools cover a range of topics:
     4 * ''resource reservation tools'' are used to create slices, add (or remove) resources to slices, and often to draw experimental topologies,
     5 * ''instrumentation and measurement tools'' are used to measure statistics on your nodes and orchestrate the experiment procedure,
     6 * ''services running on GENI'' are applications which run on GENI but which are available to GENI experimenters,
     7 * ''monitoring tools'' provide insight into the resource utilization of GENI itself, and
     8 * ''GENI-federated and outside tools'' are resources or testbeds available to experimenters with GENI credentials.
    49
    5 In addition to these experiment control tools, individual aggregates provide experimenters with additional tools to install and manage software on their resources.  For example, the Million Node GENI aggregate  provides a set of tools to manage the virtual machines it proves as computing resources.
