Title: Getting started with Teagle - A FIRE testbed federation tool
Instructors: Instructors: Sebastian Wahle, Konrad Campowsky
Length of the tutorial: Half day (3 hours)
Intended audience: Introductory to Intermediate
Background knowledge or skills required: none
Abstract
Teagle is the central coordination and testbed deployment engine used for Panlab, a large scale federated experimental facility. Teagle allows the setup of distributed testbeds using ICT resources provided by Panlab. Such resources include general purpose machines, dedicated hardware or complex software systems such as an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core system for NGN related testbeds, and/or an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) for Mobile and Fixed NGN related testbeds, and/or various generic application enablers.
The resources can be booked and configured upon demand serving specific testing or experimentation needs. Users of this facility and its underlying infrastructure usually are research and development teams or individuals from industry and academia.
In this half day tutorial you will learn:
- About the Teagle architecture and its core components such as a registry and creation environment
- About the Panlab framework and its operational procedures
- How to use the creation environment provided by Teagle to design custom testbed setups
- How to make use of such a testbed for distributed or local experiments
- How to join the federation, commit own resources and use resources provided by other partners

Sebastian Wahle leads the Evolving Infrastructure and Services group at NGNI within the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute in Berlin. The group is active in a number of national and international R&D projects in the Future Internet field and supports the commercial Fraunhofer NGN testbed deployments at customer’s premises worldwide. The group’s research activities are centered around large scale infrastructure federation, cross-layer monitoring and management, as well as cloud computing for NGNs. Sebastian received a Diploma-Engineer degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Technical University of Berlin. He is leading the Teagle development as part of his work in the FP7 project PII. His personal research interests include Resource Federation Frameworks and Service Oriented Architectures.
Konrad Campowsky has joined the AV (Architektur der Vermittlungsknoten) department at Technische Universität Berlin in 2010, where he is working as a researcher in the fields of testbed management and network domain federation. In collaboration with the Fraunhofer FOKUS Institute, his current work focuses on extending the testbed federation concept towards service and application levels and automating the process of composite, cross-domain service creation and management.
