This includes: 1) Virtualization of your sensor/actuator system. 2) Integration with GENI-compliant Software Artifacts, including the use of Shirako software (part of the ORCA project) as the base for the control framework. 3) Making your testbed publicly available to GENI users, starting in year 1, and integrate it into an environment of GENI federated testbeds by the end of year 2. 4) Providing documentation for testbed users, administrators, and developers.

Equipment information is found at [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ViSE/vise-catalog.pdf "ViSE Substrate Description" ] Layer 3 Connectivity: IP access will be through UMass Amherst's campus network, using their public IP addresses. Layer 2 Connectivity: There is currently no usable layer2 connection to the UMass Amherst lab available for GENI (this is the same lab that the [wiki:DOME] project uses). The project is investigating the possibility of installing local fiber that could enable a connection to NLR through an appropriate regional network. If installed, this fiber would support both the [wiki:DOME] and [wiki:ViSE] projects. Field locations might be accessed via IP tunnels or layer2 VLANs--investigation is ongoing.
