Cluster D Projects• ORCA-BEN (RENCI, Duke)

– ORCA control framework, clearinghouse– BEN experimental optical network

• DOME (UMass – Amherst)– Outdoor, mobile testbed

• ViSE (UMass – Amherst)– Wireless sensor and actuator network

• Kansei (Ohio State, Wayne State)– Sensor networks

• Embedded Real-Time Measurements– Cross-layer, real-time measurements– Recently joined cluster, ready to begin prototyping

Cluster D Tasks to End of Spiral 1

• Overall: on track to end of Spiral 1

• ORCA– Release ORCA code (completed)– Setup clearinghouse at RENCI (due 8/1, on track)

Cluster D Tasks to End of Spiral 1 • Each substrate project (BEN, DOME, ViSE, Kansei)

– Setup local container of ORCA actors, including broker (completed)

– Formulate resource description and policies for substrate (completed)

– Integrate researcher portal and substrate with ORCA actors (completed) (BEN includes stitching with NLR)

– Move broker to RENCI (on track, due 8/1 – 9/1) (Kansei has separate broker at Wayne State)

– Layer 2 connection to I2 backbone (due 10/1, some issues) (BEN has connection to NLR)

– Allow other GENI researchers (due 10/1, on track)
