SeeDep: Deploying Reproducible Application Topologies on Cloud Platform

International audienceAs part of the scientific method, any researcher should be able to reproduce the experimentation in order to not only verify the result but also evaluate and compare this experimentation with other approaches. The need of a standard tool allowing researchers to easily generate, share and reproduce experiments setup arises. In this paper, we present SeeDep, a framework aiming at being such a standard tool. By associating a generation key to a network experiment setup , SeeDep allows for reproducing network experiments independently from the used infrastructure
