| | 55 | === 6.1) Spiral-by-Spiral Goals === |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | Define a step-by-step process for the GEMINI and GIMI tools sets over Spirals 4, 5 and 6 such that: [[BR]] |
| | 58 | They deliver useful tools in each spiral [[BR]] |
| | 59 | They eventually provide tools that can be included in slices built with any type of GENI hosts [[BR]] |
| | 60 | Included GENI hosts should be those provided by ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks, as soon as they are available [[BR]] |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | Start where they are now: [[BR]] |
| | 63 | GEMINI is based on LAMP and INSTOOLS, that have been demonstrated/used on Emulab/protoGENI resources [[BR]] |
| | 64 | GIMI is based on OML, that has operated in the OMF environment. However, a GIMI co-PI (Ilia Baldine) is also PI of the ORCA and ExoGENI projects [[BR]] |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | Goals for Spiral 4: |
| | 67 | By the end of Spiral 4, GEMINI tools will test/operate in slices built in Emulab/protoGENI/InstaGENI environment [[BR]] |
| | 68 | By the end of Spiral 4, GIMI tools will test/operate in slices built in ORCA/ExoGENI environemnt [[BR]] |
| | 69 | As much as possible, the two groups will use common user tools and common interfaces/protocols/APIs [[BR]] |
| | 70 | As much as possible, the two groups will avoid arrangements customized to one environment [[BR]] |
| | 71 | Both groups will be ready to provide tutorials on their capabilities starting at GEC-14. [[BR]] |
