    68 
    69 Start with one "Basic GENI Experiment/Tutorial/Test Workflow", and later introduce variations that cover additional types of experiments

    7171=== 4.1)  Uses ===
     
    9292
    9393a)  Includes eight steps that are self-contained, which allows for all the variations in flow that occur in a real experiment:  repeating steps (e.g., many runs);  re-ordering steps (e.g., analyzing much later);  skipping steps  (e.g., do not archive)
     94
     95 + Step 1:  Design experiment, and find or wirte necessary software, rspecs and/or scripts
     96
     97 + Step 2:  Establish experiment management environment
     98
     99 + Step 3:  Obtain slice of GENI resources, and then install I&M and experiment software
     100
     101 + Step 4:  Configure and initialize I&M and experiment services
     102
     103 + Step 5:  Run and orchestrate I&M and experiment services, to complete run of experiment
     104
     105 + Step 6:  Analyze experiment results, and decide on next step(s)
     106
     107 + Step 7:  When no longer needed, release all experiment resources
     108
     109 + Step 8:  Optionally, archive selected measurements and/or experiment artifacts
    94110
    95111b)  Each step typically includes these items:
     
    178194p)  Suggested production methods are:
    179195
    180  + TBD
     196 + Currently done with wiki, but it would be helpful to find an easier method
    181197
    182198=== 5.2)  Customized Document, Including Parameters, Annotations and/or Results ===
     
    212228f)  Suggested production methods are:
    213229
    214  + TBD
    215 
    216 === 5.3)  Additional One-Page Summary Document ===
    217 
    218 a)  To supplement a document on a web page, particularly for an in-person tutorial
     230 + Could this be based on approach used in Lab wiki?
     231
     232=== 5.3)  One-Page Summary Document ===
     233
     234a)  To supplement a document on a web page, typically for an in-person tutorial
    219235
    220236b)  Provide a one-page summary on paper, that:
     
    224240 + allows them to easily check off steps, and
    225241
    226  + capture simple notes and results.
     242 + capture simple notes and basic results.
    227243
    228244
    229245c)  Suggested production methods are:
    230246
    231  + TBD
     247 + Abstract on-lin document, and use pdf to produce one-page document
    232248
    233249=== 5.4)  Dual-screen Presentation, of Workflow Steps and Current Console/Browser ===
    234250
    235 a)  First screen shows workflow steps, e.g., a browser pointed at wiki holding steps
    236 
    237 b)  Second screen shows current console/browser, as instructor follows the steps.
    238 
    239 c)  This avoids having to go back and forth, if there were only one screen, and makes it easy for the student to follow along.
    240  
    241 
    242 === 5.5)  Additional Video "Document"  ===
     251a)  To improve the presentation at an in-person tutorial
     252
     253b)  First screen shows workflow steps, e.g., a browser pointed at wiki holding steps
     254
     255c)  Second screen shows current console/browser, as instructor follows the steps.
     256
     257d)  This avoids having to go back and forth, if there were only one screen, and makes it easy for the student to follow along.
     258 
     259
     260=== 5.5)  Short Video that Describes One or More Steps  ===
    243261
    244262a)  To supplement a document on a web page, for an in-person tutorial, or for use as an off-line tutorial
    245263
    246 b)  Provide a short video, that summarizes how to complete one or more steps.
     264b)  Provide a short video, that describes how to complete one or more steps.
    247265
    248266c)  An example is the video included in the GIMI tutorial at GEC16 (ref)
     
    250268d)  Suggested production methods are:
    251269
    252  + TBD
     270 + Mike Zink can suggest a method.
    253271
    254272
     
    278296b)  Required functions:
    279297
    280  + Availability of artifacts in archive from a reference experiment/tutorial/test
     298 + Availability of artifacts from a reference experiment/tutorial/test, that can be copied over for a new experiment/tutorial/test
    281299
    282300 + Scratchpad, for transfer of artifacts between tools, operating in different steps
    283301
    284  + Storage of artifacts after an experiment is finished, for later analysis or repetition
     302 + Storage of artifacts after an experiment/tutorial/test is finished, for later analysis or to repeat the experiment/tutorial/test
    285303
    286304 + Accessible from all services owned (or acting for) the user
     
    288306c)  Design of GENI Storage and Archive Service:
    289307
    290  + Being built to provide a place for all such artifact, including descriptors
     308 + Being built to provide a place for all such artifacts
     309
     310 + Follows a well-defined structure, with well-defined descriptors (metadata)
    291311
    292312 + iRODS ref
     
    317337 
    318338a)  Issue:  variations with type of users (novice to expert) and thus interfaces (graphical to script);  can these be mixed?
    319  
     339
    320340b)  Issue:  variations between InstaGENI and ExoGENI, between GIMI and GEMINI;  is there a common set?
    321  
     341
    322342c)  Issue: variations from this basic workflow, to more-specialized workflows;  which should be considered?
