John and I recommend the following reading list in preparation for the
narrow waist working group meeting next week. Additional material,
currently not quite ready to post, will follow shortly.

Larry

---------------------------------------------------------

 o GENI Facility Design, GDD-07-44, April 2007.
    http://www.geni.net/GDD/GDD-07-44.pdf

    The most comprehensive description of the facility. Sketches the
architecture,
    plus describes example technologies that might populate a deployment.

 o GENI Facility Construction Plan, GDD-07-45, April 2007.
    http://www.geni.net/GDD/GDD-07-45.pdf

    Describes an open source inspired model for building GENI, which helps
    motivate some of the architectural design decisions.

 o GENI Architectrue Redeux. June 2007.
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/arch_redeux_v0.3.pdf

    An update to the GENI Architecture document (GDD-06-11) to reflect the
    material incorporated into the Facility Design document. If you are going
    to read only one document, this is probably it.

 o A Minimal Definition of GENI's Narrow Waist.
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/arch_abridged.pdf

   An abridged version of the Architecture document, focusing on the definition
   of key abstractions, but sacrificing completeness. If you have time for only
   the Reader's Digest version, this is the document to read.

 o RSpec.
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/rspec-draft-v0.4.pdf

    Expands upon the Resource Specification (rspec) section of the full
    Architecture document.

Larry-

In an attempt to avoid any confusion, it's probably worth pointing  
out that the GPO-developed plans for GENI construction may differ  
significantly from the recommendations in GDD-07-45 "GENI Facility  
Construction Plan".  The GPO does plan to use strategies from the  
open source community and the discussion in section 3.1 is thoughtful  
and worth reading.  But there is a lot of other information in the  
document about how GENI development will be organized and executed  
that shouldn't be interpreted as describing the GPO's plans for way  
in which GENI will be built.  Chip, as Project Director, will be  
giving a talk on prototype development plans at the GEC meeting this  
week.  (not the whole construction story but an initial part.)

I'd also recommend a document only recently uploaded:

http://www.geni.net/GDD/GDD-06-42.pdf
John Wroclawski, "Using the Component and Aggregate Abstractions in  
the GENI Architecture," GENI Design Document 06-42, Facility  
Architecture Working Group, December 2006.

It has a nice discussion of aggregates.

I just realized that I had posted an old version of the "Abridged Architecture"
document. I've now posted the most recent version.
