Bid2: Emulab GUI

Preface:

For the new Emulab GUI (project #3 as presented by the Emulab representative), we would like to implement a Flash interface. We feel Flash will provide for the kind of robust and multiplatform experience that Emulab requires. We will implement SOAP / Javascript to retreive the XMLRPC output, and hand it off to the Flash application. We feel with this approach we should be able to easily meet the demands for the user to create, edit, start, stop, and graphically view the current progress of a Emulab project.
