Middleware Architecture. The SoftFIRE Middleware is the central software component of the SoftFIRE federation. It exposes a REST API that can be consumed either via a CLI or a dashboard. The experimenter is supposed to use the dashboard for running its experiments on demand on the SoftFIRE platform. The middleware’s southbound interface is directed towards the available testbeds of Deutsche Telekom, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Ericsson, the University of Surrey and Assembly Data System S.p.A, managed by individual OpenStack controllers and exposing their functions through remote APIs.
