  5. Resource Allocation Tools

  6. Resource Allocation ToolsGENI Experimenter Portal • Uses GENI AM API to manage resources • Currently 7 aggregates (ExoGENI, InstaGENI, ProtoGENI) • Point-and-click web-based UI • Not particularly “graphical” or “visual” • Good introductory tool • Makes easy things easy, hard things possible • Capable of any web-based presentation • Topology visualization • RSpec construction (visual, textual) • Tool/portal integration or linking • Limited capabilites • No topology embedding; one aggregate at a time

  7. Resource Allocation ToolsLooking ahead • There is room for many resource assignment tools • They fill different niches: beginners, advanced users, scriptable, adaptive • Innovation is important • Borrow ideas from others, let experimenters vote with their feet • Standards are key • Allow access to all aggregates from all tools • Construct/embed with one tool, view/modify with another

  8. Integration of portals and all tools with graphical interfaces

  9. Integration of Portals and Tools

  10. Tool/Portal integrationGENI Experimenter Portal • The GENI Experimenter Portal currently integrates with existing tools in several ways • Embeds Flack • Download from Utah, pass in slice and user context • Provides configuration data package for omni • Acts as OpenID identity provider to Seattle • Preliminary discussions with GEMINI to support integration

  11. Tool/Portal integrationLooking Forward • Common constructs for tool interoperability • Standardize naming, semantics on UIs • Focus on inputs/outputs of the various lifecycle phases • Encourage interoperability and an open marketplace • Tools should: • Use standard and common APIs (eg. GENI AM API) • Engage in good security practices (private keys, passwords) • Hosted tools need a “speaks for” capability

  12. Tool/Portal integrationLooking Forward (cont.) • Pushing towards a seamless user experience while providing choice and an open marketplace • Tools will need more standard APIs (SA, MA/IdP) • Tools should choose an appropriate authentication model (certificates, OpenID) • Link to online tools, embed online apps, integrate with desktop tools • Consume and produce standard artifacts (RSpec) • Documentation!
