+ <h3>A ready-made and easily customisable user interface for your testbed.</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ MySlice is an ambitious project aiming to support researchers throughout the lifecycle of experiments that can run on a variety
+ of testbeds spanning different administrative domains and networking technologies. Its basic principle is to bring together
+ available resources with useful information (characteristics, performance, network measurements).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ MySlice inititiave started in Janury 2011 by offering annotation services for the first ederated experimental resources. Today,
+ MySlice has taken a big step toward becoming a tand-alone web framework, which will present all available resources from testbeds
+ across the world, interconnected through the Slice-based Facility Architecture (SFA) and annotated by the TopHat measurement system.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Our framework is built with standard programming tools (php and javascript for the front-end and python for the back-end)
+ and has a modular structure based on the concept of plugins for implementing different core functionalities (query editing,
+ data display, and resource allocation).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The goal is to enable developers with expertise on different testbed technologies and different experimental
+ practices to work in parallel for optimizing the tools presented to the users allowing them for a wide range of choices
+ according to their own requirements. Opening in this way the development of web-based user tools for experimentation and
+ sharing effort and information can increase significantly the chances for the achievement of our challenging objective.
