This page talks about language used to design experiments. It should both be used to design metadescriptions and perhaps to make them more specific to a particular experiment the user wants to run.

Examples

I'll start with a few examples of experiments first, that we should be able to design in this language.

1. A botnet experiment where a worm infects some vulnerable hosts, they organize into a P2P botnet with some botmaster and start exchanging C&C traffic. There are three classes of experiments here that need to be combined together: a) an experiment where worm spreads and infects vulnerable hosts b) an experiment where some hosts organize into P2P network and somehow elect a botmaster c) an experiment where peers start exchanging some C&C botnet traffic
