== Work-in-Progress ==

This working group is the focal point for defining the tools and services needed by researchers doing experiments on GENI.  Spiral 2 will focus on understanding specific needs of the experiments planned for this spiral and work with tool and control framework developers to ensure the necessary tools and services are in place. 

The WG met at the GEC 6 held in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Presentations made at the meeting and an outbrief based on discussions at the meeting are at http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC6ServicesWGAgenda.
