| 76 | The [http://seer.isi.deterlab.net SEER experiment control tool] is a useful way to manipulate a TIED experiment to both carry out the experiment and to examine real time data from the experiment. Other Emulab-style measurement gathering and event systems function as well, but SEER is a convenient, extensible system. |

| 78 | Once an slice is created that includes the SEER code - the [http://seer.isi.deterlab.net/trac/wiki/HOWTO/Setup SEER HOWTO] explains the commands one must include in the experiment configuration language one must make to include the SEER base system - the SEER front end can be used. One can start the front end using the [http://seer.isi.deterlab.net/gui/SEER-GUI-1.5b3.jnlp webstart link] on the SEER page. Alternatively one can download the source from there and compile and run SEER locally, though we don't recommend it. |

| 80 | As a quick tour of SEER's capabilities, we show a 3-node slice, split across two aggregates, controlled by SEER. This is the TIED/one experiment listed on [https://www.isi.deterlab.net/fedd_list.php3 the slice listing page]. The control node is a node dedicated to letting SEER see the whole slice, even though parts of it are remotely allocated. In TIED, control nodes are best allocated inside the DETER testbed. |
