= Tutorial: Experiment Orchestration and Instrumentation using !LabWiki  =

== Schedule ==

Wednesday 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM


== Agenda Details ==
Attendees will learn on how to use the !LabWiki tool to plan, prepare, and execute experiments in GENI testbeds. Attendees will run a simple automation using !LabWiki with resources they setup in the previous session.
We will give an overview on the inner workings of !LabWiki, OML/OMF, AMQP, and the GENI experiment service.

The tutorial is structured as follows:

* Explain GIMI inner workings (1/2 hour)
   1. describe images (tools, postboot script)
   2. OEDL
   3. !LabWiki
   4. Experiment script

* Automation of Iperf (http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIFIRE/Labwiki/Part0/Introduction)
== Prerequisites ==
   - A GENI/FIRE account, if you don't have one [wiki:SignMeUp sign up!] 
   - Familiarity with how to reserve resources with any of the Tools (jFed, GENI Experimenter Portal, Omni, Flack). If you don't know you can take any of the tutorials:
      * Reserving resources using jFed [http://fed4fire-testbeds.ilabt.iminds.be/ilabt-documentation/tutorials.html#introduction-and-getting-started tutorial]
   - Familiarity with [http://fed4fire-testbeds.ilabt.iminds.be/ilabt-documentation/accessingnodes.html logging in to compute resources]. 
   - Introduction to !LabWiki [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC18Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI_III_GIMI tutorial]
   - Familiarity with Unix Command line - See "Tools" section

== How to get Help ==
 * Always ask your tutors (tutorial helper/presenter/TA) first. They are the fastest way to solve the problem. 
 * If you are using a specific aggregate or tool, you should consider registering in their [wiki:NikySandbox/GENIExperimenter/GENICommunity#Joinusermailinglists mailing list]. It is a great way to get connected with other GENI users and it is an excellent source of wisdom. 
 * Send mail to the GENI help list: [mailto:help@geni.net].
 * If you want to chat real-time with other GENI users and ask questions, [wiki:HowTo/ConnectToGENIChatRoom join us] in a GENI chatroom. 
 * geni-gimi-users@googlegroups.com
