2. Max Ott © NICTA 2008 2 Introduction Experiments are primarily about collecting measurements … Lots of them. How to collect them efficiently in a distributed environment like ORBIT? How to collect them centrally & in real- time –to allow dynamic steering of experiments –to minimize collection overhead after end of experiment Introduction

9. Max Ott © NICTA 2008 9 Conclusions OML is a generic, scalable and flexible framework for the collection of measurements Reduces the burden of experimenter –Easy to collect data –Supports real-time filtering to reduce collection size Reduces the burden of application developer –Simple API to report measurement In daily use Usable OUTSIDE Orbit
