OMF provides tools to describe, instrument, and execute your experiments. It also provides services to manage, share and federate your testbed resources.
OMF has been deployed and is currently used on many testbeds worldwide (USA, Europe, Australia,...). It supports various types of resources, such as wired ethernet, WIFI, WiMAX, GnuRadio, Motes, ...
A researcher using OMF can fully describe and reproduce an experiment on different testbeds. This increases the scientific rigor in the networking research community.
Coupled with the IREEL educational platform, OMF allows students in networking courses to run experiments on real testbed resources during hands-on laboratory classes.
OML is a companion framework to OMF, which allows the systematic sampling, processing and collection of any kind of measurments from any type of resources within an experiment.
OMF is a framework for controlling, instrumenting,
and managing experimental platforms (testbeds).
Researchers use OMF to describe, instrument,
and execute their experiments.
Testbed providers use OMF to make their resources discoverable, control access to them, optimise their
utilisation through virtualisation, and federation with other testbeds.
