Conducting experiments on “recommended” infrastructures via an Experimentation-as-a-Service approach. In the context of the Next Generation Internet initiative, XiPi+ offers a new service called Experimentation-as-a-Service. With that, experimenters can look for relevant infrastructures for their experiment by expressing requirements; then XiPi+ will recommend several infrastructures, and experimenters can choose the most appropriate ones.
XiPi+ works like a marketplace for the NGI ecosystem bridging the gap between experimenters' need and experimentation testbeds. It is an inventory of ICT infrastructures that, among its functionalities, offers:
- Registration of new infrastructures and their description based on a general and extensible data model called Common Description Framework (CDF )
- Management of owned infrastructures
- Search of infrastructures for a given experiment
- Match infrastructures with experiments (recommender)
A search engine dedicated to your full scale experiments is now at your disposal. The portal is intended for everyone and anyone who needs a dedicated environment to test new application, product, or service solution.
Experimental facility owners and operators register and describe their offer on XiPi+. This portal is intended for those who wish to attract experimenters from Europe and the rest of the world to their testbed. Just register your infrastructure and enter the data!
