| 14 | == I. Major accomplishments == |
| 15 | |
| 16 | === A. Milestones achieved === |
| 17 | ''__Spiral2 Prototyping plan completed:__'' The first set of GMOC milestones was |
| 18 | completed on track. The plan is a five-step plan whose initial phase has began. |
| 19 | The Prototyping plan has been posted on the GENI wiki and is located at: |
| 20 | http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIMetaOps/Gmoc_spiral2_prototying_plans.doc |
| 21 | |
| 22 | === B. Deliverables made === |
| 23 | There were no other deliverables due this quarter. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | == II. Description of work performed during last quarter == |
| 26 | |
| 27 | === A. Activities and findings === |
| 28 | ''__Equipment Deployment:__'' The GMOC Operational data repository server has been |
| 29 | deployed at the Indiana University Bloomington Data Center. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | === B. Project participants === |
| 32 | During this time, key participants in GMOC included: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Jon-Paul Herron, PI[[BR]] |
| 35 | Luke Fowler, Co-PI[[BR]] |
| 36 | Camilo Viecco, Senior GMOC Engineer[[BR]] |
| 37 | Chris Small, Technical Staff[[BR]] |
| 38 | Jeff Catania, GMOC Undergraduate[[BR]] |
| 39 | Nick Baker, GMOC Undergraduate[[BR]] |
| 40 | |
| 41 | === C. Publications (individual and organizational) === |
| 42 | Small, C. (2009, Oct 23) The Indiana University GlobalNOC Presented to Indiana |
| 43 | University School of Informatics Security Group meeting |
| 44 | http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/OFIU/GRNOC_security_informatics.pdf |
| 45 | |
| 46 | === D. Outreach activities === |
| 47 | __Undergraduate Development Assistance:__ Jeff Catania and Nick Baker, two |
| 48 | undergraduates for the IU Computer Science department have assisted with |
| 49 | research activities into GENI projects and existing data sharing options. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | === E. Collaborations === |
| 52 | GMOC has begun the process of contacting exemplar projects regarding data |
| 53 | acquisition and limitations of the current operational data format. GMOC has |
| 54 | also started gathering contact information for the emergency shutdown |
| 55 | prototype. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | ''__ProtoGENI:__'' ProtoGENI has provided SNMP access to the Internet2 Collocated |
| 58 | backbone switches. GMOC has initiated data collection on this system using |
| 59 | SNAPP, the GRNOC tool for SNMP data collection. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ''__PlanetLab:__'' GMOC has continued data collection from !PlanetLab's !CoMon |
| 62 | interface and into the GMOC database. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ''__KanseiGENie:__'' GMOC has had initial conversations with KanseiGENie. |
| 65 | KanseiGENie has some questions on the limitations of the Operational Data |
| 66 | format and on the translation of their rspec schema into the operational data set. |
| 67 | KanseiGENie has also provided GMOC contact information for operations and |
| 68 | emergency shutdown. |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ''__Million Node GENI:__'' GMOC has initiated conversations on information stored in |
| 71 | the Operational Data format. Their primary concern is on the anonymity of |
| 72 | donors. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ''__ONTimeMeasure:__'' GMOC has met with Prasad Calyam of the !OnTimeMeasure |
| 75 | project to discuss future collaborations. The use of measurement data created |
| 76 | by the !OnTimeMeasure infrastructure could provide insight into the operational |
| 77 | state of GENI components. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | === F. Other Contributions === |
| 80 | None |
| 81 | |
| 82 | === Planned Activities for Q2 === |
| 83 | GMOC is on target to reach our planned milestones and provide the planned |
| 84 | deliverables for Q2 of Spiral 2. |
