Scope

Discuss, develop and build consensus around the architectural framework for the instrumentation and measurement infrastructure that will be deployed and used in GENI.

Objectives

Create an architecture for measurement that enables GENI goals to be achieved, document and refine
Facilitate dialog and coordination between teams focused on I&M
Identify key challenges in I&M that could otherwise inhibit the infrastructure
Solicit feedback from users
Communicate via mailing list, wiki, GECs

Available GENI I&M Tools

The GENI I&M Capabilities Catalog identified several available tools at the start of Spiral 2. Throughout Spiral 2, these tools have continued to mature, and several were ready for use by the beginning of Spiral 3.

Tutorials covering four available tools were given in the 3rd I&M Workshop at GEC9, and one was given at GEC10.
