    3345== Scope ==
    3446
    35 The scope of work on this project is to adapt the Handle System and/or
    36 a Digital Object Registry to realize a clearinghouse registry for
    37 principals, slices, and/or components in a selected GENI Spiral 1 control
    38 framework  (possibly using XML RPC), and capable of
    39 supporting limited operations in Year 1.  Also, to analyze how the
    40 Handle System and/or a Digital Object Registry could be used to
    41 identify and register GENI software, including experimenter’s tools,
    42 test images and configurations, and test results.  And finally, to
    43 define the operational, scaling, security, and management
    44 requirements, plus recommended design approaches, for implementing
    45 GENI clearinghouse and software registry services.
     47This project will develop and deploy the GIMI instrumentation and measurement framework, capable of supporting the needs of both GENI experimenters and GENI infrastructure operators.  It uses the ORBIT Measurement Library (OML) and integrated Rule Oriented Data System (iRODS) as its basis.  It will provide libraries to instrument resources, to filter and process measurement flows, and to consume measurement flows.  It will use the iRODS data grid for archiving and further processing.  It will include access control based on accepted GENI policy and authorization mechanisms. [[BR]]
     48
     49== Strategy and Goals ==
     50
     51Its first goal is to provide easy-to-use I&M services for experimenters, who are deploying slices in GENI on selected types of servers, VMs and racks, interconnected by various types of network paths.  [[BR]]
     52   
     53Its second goal is to provide comprehensive infrastructure measurement services for infrastructure operators, who are deploying measurement slices on selected types of servers, VMs and racks, interconnected by a various types of network paths.  In addition, slices established by other infrastructure operators, or by experimenters, can be authorized to gather data from the measurement slices. [[BR]]
     54
     55This project will build and operate two persistent services:   the GENI Measurement Data Archive service (i.e.,  iRODs)and the GENI Experimenter Portal Service.  These can be utilized by all types of GENI I&M services, including those developed in the GEMINI project.  The GENI Experimenter Portal Service will be developed in cooperation with the GEMINI project, to support both GIMI and GEMINI tools.
     56This project will use the GENI Measurement Data Object Descriptor (MDOD) schema, defined for use by all GENI I&M services. [[BR]]
     57
     58It may utilize two persistent services provided by the GEMINI project:  the GENI Global I&M Registry (i.e., UNIS), and the GENI Event Messaging Service.   [[BR]]
     59
     60The GIMI project will use the configuration shown in the diagram below. [[BR]]
