Abstract

The Daidalos1Testbed integration framework required detailed planning and implementation, constantly adapting to the demanding changes of a research project as it advances from development phase to integration phase. This paper describes the various integration and validation efforts required to deploy an operational Daidalos Testbed infrastructure, demonstrating the effort required to achieve a successful overall integration process. With such a large scale project as Daidalos with a consortium of 49 partners, the Testbed deployment, operation and management was indeed an immense task having to create and enforce Testbed processes suitable for the efficient and effective operation of the Daidalos system during integration and validation.
