A Minimal Definition of GENI's Narrow Waist

An abridged version of the Architecture document, focusing on the definition of key abstractions, but sacrificing completeness. If you have time for only the Reader's Digest version, this is the document to read. ​http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/arch_abridged.pdf

GENI Architectrue Redeux

June 2007. An update to the GENI Architecture document (GDD-06-11) to reflect the material incorporated into the Facility Design document. If you are going to read only one document, this is probably it. ​http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/arch_redeux_v0.3.pdf

GENI Facility Design

GDD-07-44, April 2007. The most comprehensive description of the facility. Sketches the architecture, plus describes example technologies that might populate a deployment. http://www.geni.net/GDD/GDD-07-44.pdf

GENI Facility Construction Plan

GDD-07-45, April 2007. Describes an open source inspired model for building GENI, which helps motivate some of the architectural design decisions. http://www.geni.net/GDD/GDD-07-45.pdf

RSpec

Expands upon the Resource Specification (rspec) section of the full Architecture document. ​http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/rspec-draft-v0.4.pdf

Using the Component and Aggregate Abstractions in the GENI Architecture

GDD-06-42, John Wroclawski, Facility Architecture Working Group, December 2006. Contains a nice discussion of aggregates. http://www.geni.net/GDD/GDD-06-42.pdf
