• Vision for GENI I&M (per Barford on 11/18/09)
  instrumentation and measurement systems provide broad data gathering, analysis and archieval capability
  sufficient for scientific mission
  sufficient for operations
  key for success of the infrastructure
  

• Requirementsfor for GENI I&M (initial view) (per Barford on 11/18/09)
  measure details of GENI behavior with high precision and accuracy
  no impact on experiments
  ubiquitous
  extensible
  large capacity
  high availability
  resilient
  strong access control
  tight integration with CFs
  

• Conceptual strawman (per Barford on 11/18/09)
  instrumentation - taps in the metwork and systems that provide basic signals
  collection and synthesis - programmable systems that collect, combine and transform basic signals
  archieve - measurement data index and repository
