2. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation2 Overview The GENI Architecture has made tremendous strides in the last year along a number of dimensions –More resources –More experimenter-focused services and tools –More federation-focused services and tools –More integration I’d like to take a few minutes to review how far we’ve come and where we’re going

7. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation7 Recent Progress: Detailed Case Starting in early ‘12, the GENI Architecture Team began to work on defining a Clearinghouse Architecture –A standard set of services to assure federation-wide authentication, authorization and accountability GMOC Researcher / Tool AM Identity Provider Identity Provider Service Registry Service Registry Slice Authority Member Authority Member Authority “Clearinghouse”

8. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation8 Recent Progress: Detailed Case [2] We ratified the design at GEC13 and began work on implementing a prototype version of the Clearinghouse and an experimenter-friendly tool (“the GENI Portal”) to work with the Clearinghouse and federated Aggregates –By GEC15, we demonstrated a prototype of the Clearinghouse and Portal. –By GEC16, we opened the Portal up for general use and accounts –By GEC17, the Portal is the public face of GENI and the standard interface for demonstrations and tutorials.

11. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation11 Summary Our recent progress and current plans continue to address these goals –We have added many resources recently; plenty more coming shortly –We have built a variety of tools and services for running experiments on a range of custom topologies In a federated authenticated, authorized, accountable framework –We are transitioning from Sets of individual tools and services to integrated capabilities Building tools to enabling tool builders GENI’s architectural goals have always been to provide: Experimenters with custom, deeply programmable topologies from a rich variety of resources Federation members with a sense of trust based on authentication, authorization and accountability
