= Experiment Control (OMF) =

The Experiment controller service directly orchestrates all experiments. It is controlled directly by the user via the omf command and sends messages to the requisite services to initiate an experiment and line up all the services required for proper booting of the nodes, running experiment scripts, and finally restoring the testbed to it's original state after the expirment is complete.
