SENSEI Cookbook guinea pig comments (will be added incrementally after testing)

SENSEI Cookbook

The SENSEI Cookbook provides a set of guides for using the SENSEI Pan-European Testbed, deploying your own testbed or using the individual components available from SENSEI. The SENSEI architecture involves different roles, with three technical roles being particularly important for a testbed: Resource Provider, System Provider and Resource User. This Cookbook is organized by these three roles, with a guide for participating in a SENSEI system in each role. Before digging into the technical details, it is best to start with the overview of the Pan-European Testbed.

This Cookbook is aimed at several different audiences. It can be used by consortium members to disseminate information about and exploit the components developed in the project internally. It is critical documentation for third parties to participate in the Pan-European Testbed or deploy their own testbed. Finally, this Cookbook serves as documentation for potential users of this SENSEI system implementation when available to the public.

After starting with the overview, it is best to start with the Resource Provider Guide. This gives a good way to get started by registering resources into the SENSEI system from a standard PC with the Java REP. The System Provider Guide is for more advanced users, and explains how to use the deployed Pan-European Testbed or how to deploy your own testbed server components. Finally, the Resource User Guide describes how to use the Management GUI of the testbed to access resources and management the system. This guide also includes information on how to create you own application acting as a Resource User.
