Other managers can register to the experiment manager so that the Experiment Manager is able to redirect requests from the experimenter to the appropriate manager. The managers use the gRPC protocol for communication.\n\nThe main tasks of the Experiment Manager are:\n\n* Exposing an API for the dashboard and the SoftFIRE SDK\n* User authentication and authorization\n* Resource discovery\n* Resource reservation\n* Resource provisioning\n* Processing the experiment definition\n* Providing experiment monitoring\n\nIn the figure below you can see the work flow of the Experiment Manager interacting with the experimenter and other managers.\n\n![](http://docs.softfire.eu/img/ex-man-seq-dia.svg)\n\n## Technical Requirements\n\nThe Experiment Manager requires Python 3.5 or higher.\n\n## Installation and configuration\n\nYou can install the Experiment Manager using pip:\n\n```\npip install experiment-manager\n```\n\nand then start it with the `experiment-manager` command.\n\nOr you can run it from source code by cloning the git repository, installing the dependencies as specified in the [setup.py](https://github.com/softfire-eu/experiment-manager/blob/master/setup.py) file and executing the _experiment-manager_ script.\n\nThe experiment manager needs a configuration file present at _/etc/softfire/experimen-manager.ini_. An example of the configuration file can be found [here](https://github.com/softfire-eu/experiment-manager/blob/master/etc/experiment-manager.ini).\n\n## Issue tracker\n\nIssues and bug reports should be posted to the GitHub Issue Tracker of this project.\n\n# What is SoftFIRE?\n\nSoftFIRE provides a set of technologies for building a federated experimental platform aimed at the construction and experimentation of services and functionalities built on top of NFV and SDN technologies.\nThe platform is a loose federation of already existing testbed owned and operated by distinct organizations for purposes of research and development.\n\nSoftFIRE has three main objectives: supporting interoperability, programming and security of the federated testbed.\nSupporting the programmability of the platform is then a major goal and it is the focus of the SoftFIRE’s Second Open Call.\n\n## Licensing and distribution\nCopyright © [2016-2018] SoftFIRE project\n\nLicensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the \"License\");\n\nyou may not use this file except in compliance with the License.\nYou may obtain a copy of the License at\n\n  http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0\n\nUnless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software\ndistributed under the License is distributed on an \"AS IS\" BASIS,\nWITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.\nSee the License for the specific language governing permissions and\nlimitations under the License.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsoftfire-eu%2Fexperiment-manager","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsoftfire-eu%2Fexperiment-manager","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsoftfire-eu%2Fexperiment-manager/lists"}
