Welcome to OMF¶

OMF (cOntrol and Management Framework) is a control, measurement and management framework for experimental platforms (aka testbeds).

OMF was originally developed for the ORBIT wireless testbed at Winlab, Rutgers University. Since 2008, OMF has been extended and maintained by NICTA (Australia) in collaboration with Winlab. It can now operate on testbeds with many different type of resource technologies. It is deployed and used on many testbeds in Australia, Europe, and in the U.S. OMF is also being extended further to support exciting new features and technologies. This website is hosting this ongoing activity. In addition to the main OMF software, this site also hosts sub-projects addressing various testbed related initiatives.
