[services-wg] Experimenter Tools and Services: Spiral 1 Capabilities.

[Vicraj Thomas]

Justin,

You bring up a good point about including in the document tools such as
those from Million Node GENI.  The plan for this document was to catalog
tools and services available from each of the 5 control frameworks for
creating slices, provisioning them and running experiments.  We were not
thinking of tools from aggregate providers (e.g. Million Node GENI, CMU
testbed, Kansei, etc).   Correct me if I¹m wrong, but tools from an
aggregate will primarily be concerned with programming resources (slivers)
from that aggregate and with aggregate specific experiment control functions
.  These tools won¹t be used to register and authenticate GENI users, create
slices, etc.

That said, many of the aggregates coming into GENI (including Million Node
GENI) are standalone testbeds in their own right and already have a suite of
experimenter tools.  It is a good idea for the Experimenter Workflow Tools
and Services WG to look at these tools and borrow concepts/tools from these
testbeds.  Perhaps this can be something we discuss at one of the upcoming
GECs just as we looked at tools/services from the control frameworks at the
last GEC.

Others pl. feel free to chime in with your comments/thoughts.
