Quarterly Activities:

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.

MU Student Sripriya Seetharam with support from PI Calyam attended the GENI Summer Camp (GREE-SC 2013) and GEC16 at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In collaboration with the GENI Project Office, lab exercises based on use of OnTimeMeasure and GENI resources are being developed for a Cloud Computing course being offered by PI Calyam in Fall 2013 semester at MU.
