[[PageOutline]] == Project Number == 1754 == Project Title == Design of an information substrate for measurement, monitoring, and inference [[BR]] a.k.a. INFOSUBSTR === Technical Contacts === Karen Sollins (sollins@lcs.mit.edu) [[BR]] Massachusetts Institute of Technology [[BR]] 32 Vassar St., Cambridge, MA 02139 === Participating Organizations === Massachusetts Institute of Technology === GPO Liaison System Engineer === Vic Thomas vthomas@geni.net == Scope == This effort will produce two study papers. The first will describe the increasingly complex set of system design issues involved in building an information plane for both experimenters and the various players providing network management. The second will be a systems design paper. This problem is challenging given that information may be collected or inferred in one domain in a federated environment, such as GENI, where there may be conflicting objectives across either the boundaries of federation of the infrastructure or between the GENI control and management plane and the experimental environments. === Current Capabilities === BRIEF descriptions of resources/functions/tools that are available to anyone in the GENI community. === Milestones === [[MilestoneDate(InfoSubstrate: S2.a V1.0 Information plane system design issues)]] System design issues for the GENI information plane v. 1.0 [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(InfoSubstrate: S2.b V2.0 Information plane system design issues)]] System design issues for the GENI information plane v. 2.0 [[BR]] == Project Technical Documents == Links to wiki pages for the project's technical documents go here. List should include any document in the working groups, as well as other useful documents.
