Scope

The scope of work on this project is to adapt the large-scale prototype wireless sensor networks of Kansei Consortium to provide GENI-compliant interfaces and principles, to provide publically available support for programmability, virtualization, and slice-based experimentation, and to deploy three geographically dispersed sites in a federated arrangement. Also, provide periodic demonstrations, code releases and installation packages.

Furthermore, provide an experiment interaction dashboard as well as a scripting environment for composing long-running, complex/phased experiments. And finally, provide the Kansei Doctor, whose multi-level invariant-based detector-corrector modules will help make Kansei more self-repairing and autonomic.

Current Capabilities

The KanseiGenie software as well as its installation have been completed. The KanseiGenie software has been deployed at ​Kansei testbed as well as the ​PeopleNet testbed at the Ohio State University. They provide the following features:

1. An integrated Research Portal that allows authenticated users to interact with XSM, TelosB, and Stargate arrays.
   
2. Both web-based and programmatic interaction such as scheduling experiment and result retrieval are supported.
   
3. Published and documented web service (in WSDL format) API:
   

​Experiment plane API
​"Control plane API
​Measurement plane API
​Site Authority API
​Real-time messaging API.

4. ​Kansei Doctor for testbed health monitoring. Health monitoring data also retrievable through web service API.
5. Tested and running ORCA integration with KanseiGenie Broker deployed at RENCI. KanseiGenie Research Portal now serve as a proxy for the ORCA Service Manager. KanseiGenie handlers for ORCA resource 'join' and 'leave' events.
