Offer your testing services to large community of experimenters
The Fed4FIRE+ federation continuously evolves as new testbeds emerge with novel functionalities. Therefore, Fed4FIRE+ is continuously looking for new testbeds with new functionalities to join the federation. Each testbed has the choice to be included following one of the following federation options:
- Associated: the testbed is listed on the website, with links to contact information and documentation. This option does not require technical integration.
- Light: access to the testbed’s resources is realized by exposing a Web-based API. This option does not allow full control over the individual testbed resources, but ensures unified access to experimenters.
- Advanced: the testbed is fully integrated in the federation so that experimenters can interact with their experiment during all stages of the experiment’s life cycle (resource selection, instantiation, control, monitoring, etc.). This option requires the implementation of the Federation AM API (Aggregate Manager Application Programming Interface) on top of your testbed.
Some testbeds might be included under advanced federation for usage of general resources, while specific features, such as proprietary services, are exposed through light federation.
