Abstract :
In this paper we present VIRCONEL, a new, open source (LGPL) tool that we developed to run experiments and do research in networked ICT environments built from real software. VIRCONEL features an integrated graphical user interface to model, deploy, launch, runtime-control and measure a target system with an arbitrary network topology. Based on Open VZ, the current version of VIRCONEL combines ease of use and efficiency by ensuring rapid and easy deployment of potentially large target systems across multiple physical machines.
