1)  Definition of topic:  [[BR]]

a)  How do we work towards Max Ott's vision for experiment support?  [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEC12InstMeasWorkingSession/Will%20RSpec%20help%20us%20to%20do%20better%20science%20-%20GEC11%20-%20July%202011.pdf  slides] [[BR]]

b)  Nominal experiment use case:  [[BR]]
  1)  Setup and run experiment using Experiment Control Tools, Experiment Orchestration Service and Lab Portal.  [[BR]]
  2)  Setup and run measurements using services within slice, and persistent services.  Option:  get measurement data from persistent MP.  [[BR]]
  3)  Gather MD, and observe during experiment; formulate MDOD.  [[BR]]
  4)  Archive MD with MDOD.  [[BR]]
  5)  Share archived MD with others, per policy included within MDOD.  [[BR]]
  6)  Pull MD out of archive, to analyze and/or visualize.  [[BR]]
 
c)  What support must be provided for Experimenters?  how?  [[BR]] 

d)  Extended experiment use cases:  [[BR]]
  1)  WiMAX site measurement
  2)  LEARN/BEN layer 0,1 or 2 real-time measurements
  3)  Sensor network (radars, power monitors)
  4)  Measure DiCloud workflow
