+
+## emu-vim
+
+### Requirements
+* needs the latest Dockernet to be installed in the system
+ * the wrapper uses standard Python imports to use the Dockernet modules
+* Uses ZeroMQ based RPC to open a cloud-like interface that can be used by a demo CLI client
+ * pip install import zerorpc
+ * This will be replaced / extended by a REST API later
+
+### TODO
+* DCemulator
+ * correctly start and connect new compute resources at runtime
+ * remove and disconnect compute resources at runtime
+ * list active compute resources
+* Cloud-like reference API with CLI for demonstrations
+ * Write CLI client
+ * Start compute
+ * Stop compute
+* Re-factor endpoint API so that API objects can be more or less statless (ask DCEmulator for available DCs instead of maintaining a own list)
+* Create an Ansible-based automatic installation routine
+* Add resource constraints to datacenters
+* Check if we can use the Mininet GUI to visualize our DCs?
+
+
+### Features
+* Define a topology (Python script)
+ * Add data centers
+ * Add switches and links between the,
+* Define API endpoints in topology
+ * call startAPI from topology definition and start it in a own thread
+ * make it possible to start different API endpoints for different DCs
