Testbeds are traditionally built for a particular project or to study a specific technology. An alternative approach is to federate existing testbeds to a) cater for experimenter needs which cannot be fullled by a single testbed, and b) provide a wider variety of environmental settings at different scales. These heterogenous settings allow the study of new approaches in environments similar to what one finds in the real world.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>This paper presents OMF, a control, measurement, and management framework for testbeds. It describes through some examples the versatility of OMF's current architecture and gives directions for federation of testbeds through OMF. In addition, this paper introduces a comprehensive experiment description language that allows an experimenter to describe resource requirements and their configurations, as well as experiment orchestration. Researchers would thus be able to reproduce their experiment on the same testbed or in a different environment with little changes. Along with the efficient support for large scale experiments, the use of testbeds and support for repeatable experiments will allow the networking field to build a culture of cross verification and therefore strengthen its scientific approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/1713254.1713267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,2]],"date-time":"2010-02-02T13:33:51Z","timestamp":1265117631000},"page":"54-59","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":121,"title":["OMF"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Thierry","family":"Rakotoarivelo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National ICT Australia (NICTA), Alexandria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maximilian","family":"Ott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National ICT Australia (NICTA), Alexandria, Australia and WINLAB, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Jourjon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National ICT Australia (NICTA), Alexandria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Seskar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"WINLAB, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","unstructured":"\"NS3 Network Simulator \" at: http:\/\/www.nsnam.org\/.  \"NS3 Network Simulator \" at: http:\/\/www.nsnam.org\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","unstructured":"\"OMNet++ Simulator \" at: http:\/\/www.omnetpp.org\/.  \"OMNet++ Simulator \" at: http:\/\/www.omnetpp.org\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","unstructured":"D.
