OMF (cOntrol and Managment Framework) helps researchers to conduct repeatable experiments and testbed operators to efficiently manage their testbeds.

Researchers use OMF to describe, instrument, execute, and analyse their experiments.

Testbed owners use OMF to make the resources in their testbed discoverable, to control access to them, to optimize their utilization through virtualization, and to federate with other testbeds.

• Reproducible experiments
  > OMF provides a high-level domain-specific language called OEDL that allows researchers to easily describe and reproduce experiments.

• Support for heterogeneous resources
  > A common abstraction enables easy access, control and management of devices and networks of different types and makes (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, drivers, manufacturer, etc.).

• Resource usage optimization
  > Virtualization allows resources to be shared among multiple simultaneous experiments.

• Federation-ready
  > OMF supports the design and execution of experiments that use resources from multiple interconnected testbeds.
