[[PageOutline]] = GENI Plastic Slices = The GENI Plastic Slices Project has a goal to advance meso-scale experiments to operate with production-quality GENI resources, while gaining experience in managing such an environment. The Plastic Slices project sets shared campus goals within an agreed upon schedule(by GEC12). This project plans to run ten (or more) GENI slices continuously for multiple months. = Project Plan = The Plastic Slices Project overall plan for running and managing simultaneous slices is captured in the [wiki:PlasticSlices/ProjectPlan Plastic Slices Project Plan] document. = Requirements tracking = The [wiki:PlasticSlices/ProjectPlan#a2.1.Experimenterrequirements Experimenters Requirements] detailed in the project plan are tracked in the Plastic Slices effort in the [wiki:PlasticSlices/RequirementsTracking Requirements Tracking] page. = Baseline Evaluation Plan = Details for each baseline evaluation are captured in the [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation Baseline Evaluation Plan]. The Baselines Evaluations are designed to capture progress throughout the Plastic Slices project. Each baseline captures environment, evaluation details, evaluation criteria and a baseline report. = Environment = Capturing the definition of the environment used to validate the baselines scenarios is a crucial part of this activity. A complete definition will be captured to facilitate the repeatability of the baseline scenario in the Quality Assurance step to be performed by Georgia Tech. As part of the effort, the following will be captured: * [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots Slice Snapshots] - A slice-centric record of the experiment environment will be captured at each baseline. * [wiki:PlasticSlices/SiteDiagrams Site Diagrams] - A site-centric capture the topology used at each site. * [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceDiagrams Slice Diagrams] - A slice-centric capture each experiment topology. As the Plastic Slices project evolves, the GPO will generate recommendations for contributors managing campus sites for the [wiki:PlasticSlices/MonitoringRecommendations Monitoring], [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations MyPLC], and [wiki:PlasticSlices/OFRecommendations OpenFlow] configuration recommendation. The GPO will also define [wiki:PlasticSlices/ExperimenterRecommendations Experimenters recommendations] and provide examples for potential types of experiments. = Project Status = Detailed status for major areas of the Plastic Slices project can be found in the following pages: ||[wiki:PlasticSlices/MonitoringStatus Monitoring Status]|| Monitoring status and recommendations || || || ||[wiki:PlasticSlices/MyplcStatus MyPLC Status]|| MyPLC configuration status and recommendations || || || || [wiki:PlasticSlices/OFStatus OF Status] || OF configuration status and recommendations || Each baseline effort will capture a snapshot of each slice environment and provide a [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus status] at the completion that captures baseline results. This table provides the "environment" (Slice Snapshots), the "plan" (Baseline Evaluation Details) and the "results" (Baseline Evaluation Status) for each baseline in the Plastic Slices project: || || '''Environment'''|| ''' Plan''' || '''Results'''|| || || || '''Baseline1'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline1 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline1 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline1 Evaluation Status] || || || || '''Baseline2'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline2 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline2 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline2 Evaluation Status] || || || || '''Baseline3'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline3 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline3 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline3 Evaluation Status] || || || || '''Baseline4'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline4 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline4 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline4 Evaluation Status] || || || || '''Baseline5'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline5 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline5 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline5 Evaluation Status] || || || '''Baseline6'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline6 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline6 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline6 Evaluation Status] || || || || '''Baseline7'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline7 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline7 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline7 Evaluation Status] || || || || '''Baseline8'''|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/SliceSnapshots#Baseline8 Slices Snapshot]|| [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineEvaluation#Baseline8 Evaluation Details] || [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus#Baseline8 Evaluation Status] || [[BR]] = Reports = While periodic updates are to be generated for each baseline to capture [wiki:PlasticSlices/BaselineStatus status] progress against the planned activities, there are also three interim reports planned to be posted to the egeni-trials@lists.stanford.edu mail list and to [wiki:PlasticSlices/Reports Plastic Slices Reports] page.
