FIRE Workshop on Measurements&Tools

FIRE workshop on Measurements and Tools held in Aalborg, Denmark on May 9, 2013

1) Determine needs, new domains of measurements (not currently addressed), and document best practices and lessons learned in tools development for measurement-based experimental research

Starting point: publication of ACM CCR paper, available online athttp://www.sigcomm.org/ccr/papers/2012/October/2378956.2378968 which allows comments/notes/suggestions/improvements online

2) Identify what can be performed/reached by means of cooperation between projects from a directory of tools accessible to the FIRE community at large up to the joint development of tools, under which conditions, etc.

Measurements and Tools

Measurement Tools and DatasetMotivations

Directory of measurement tools accessible to the research community and FIRE community in particular– Previous initiative (http://www.free-t-rex.net) does not

receive too much attention in Europe– CAIDA tools repository is simple, clear and easy

Starting with a simple and easily accessible repository with progressive addition of improvements (bottom-up approach)

Containing data from experiments (data sets) so that other researchers could re-use these data to further analyze them and obtain additional results

Critical mass: to keep it interesting and valuable, we need high number of people involved and make it grow
