> We've opened for public use four major new features in Utah's Emulab
> network testbed. They are documented and ready for anyone's reasonable
> research or educational use, or just take them for a test drive.

> 1. 900MHz Motes and 802.11 Stargates on robots: a truly mobile
> wireless testbed, with experimenter-specified movements, simple path
> planning by Emulab, a vision-based tracking system, live maps, and
> webcams. Control and monitoring are completely integrated into the
> existing Emulab system, so a mobile experiment is very similar to a
> typical Emulab experiment. This first installation is small, but it
> all works.
>
> This is really three features: mote support, Stargate support, and
> mobility. We have a few fixed motes, and will be adding lots more.

> 2,3. Secure environments for running malicious or risky code:
> A per-experiment switch-enforced firewall.
> A per-experiment Emulab, by providing Emulab-in-Emulab.
> Plus, at no extra charge, color-coded security levels that
> automatically set up different defense levels.

> 4. Windows XP is a supported test node OS, joining Linux and FreeBSD.
> Most Emulab features work, including ssh keys and file service. It's
> got Remote Desktop if you need Windows look-and-feel; it's got Cygwin
> if you prefer Unix.

> Finally, let me remind you that we also have a non-mobile 802.11a/b/g
> testbed available: 27 PCs scattered around our building, most with two
> Atheros cards. You can change the madwifi driver, the OS, everything.

> Kudos to the whole Emulab team, but especially to Tim Stack, David
> Johnson, Dan Flickinger, Leigh Stoller (robots); Mike Hibler, Leigh
> Stoller (secure env); and Russ Fish, Kirk Webb (Windows).
