OnTimeMeasure

In this quarter, we extended our work on advanced manufacturing use
cases in order to obtain results that leverage the NSF-supported Global
Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) Future Internet
infrastructure. We designed experiments for development of new services
for modeling and simulation i.e., simulation-as-a-service that could
address advanced manufacturing needs using GENI slices. We showed how
adoption of novel cloud-hosted services that use Future Internet
capabilities can provide cost/time savings and improved convenience. In
addition, we developed new documentation for our OpenFlow based
experiments conducted in the VDCloud project that build upon the ‘marker
packet’ based setup of dynamic network flows in GENI and access network
backbones. Experiments relate to the wide-area network virtual tenant
network formation and resource allocation schemes implementation in
virtual desktop cloud platforms. The GENI resources utilized include the
ProtoGENI aggregate, TangoGENI testbed and the OnTimeMeasure
instrumentation and measurement software.
