II. Description of work performed during last quarter

  • Summary of accomplishments related to GENI-fying NetEye using KanseiGenie installer:
    • Cloned the stargate aggregate manager on linux-featured laptops in NetEye
    • Cloned the KanseiGenie server directors on NetEye server
    • Customized the KanseiGenie webportal to support outside user’s experiment request on NetEye
    • Cloned the KanseiGenie aggregate manager
    • Customized the KanseiGenie measurement tools to generate the visualized link quality figures in NetEye
    • Deployed the four ORCA actors at three different sites: Kansei borker running in RENCI clearinghouse; Kansei and NetEye site authority running at OSU and WSU; Kansei service manager running at OSU
    • Ported the Kansei handler and controller to NetEye
  • Summary of accomplishments related to extending KanseiGenie researcher portal for federated use of Kansei and NetEye:
    • Redesigned Portal to make it site independent and reconfigurable at run time. Portal can connect and manage any Site running KanseiGenie software specified in a ‘config’ file
    • Automatic reformatting of the display, based on number of Sites specified in the Portal
    • Portal keeps track of federated slice, resources and experiment status
    • Portal Keeps track of common ‘user files’ available across multiple Sites
  • Summary of accomplishments related to refining KanseiGenie installer
    • A new module called UserTools created which is platform dependent
    • A new aggregate manager for Linux PCs created (which has been tested on Fedora and Ubuntu systems)
    • Stargate aggregate manager restructured for more clarity
    • Reported the KanseiGenie installation bugs to trac site and provided the fix to all the known bugs/problems
    • Provided the feedback to enhance the KanseiGenie cloned system
  • Summary of accomplishments related to refining KanseiGenie RSpec
    • Identified the principles and mechanisms for WSN RSpec
    • Developed basic ontology and NDL extensions for WSN RSpec
    • Presented our results on WSN RSpec at the RSpec workshop of GEC7
  • Summary of accomplishments related to assisting OkGems project to use KanseiGenie installer
    • OkGems porting effort supported through many weekly and on-demand conference calls to clarify KanseiGenie design
    • Porting bugs resolved through email and online ‘trac’ bug tracking system
    • Created or modified documentation for more clarity
    • Aggreagate Manager customization for !OKGems aggregate.
