Abstract { OpenExperiment is a user-conngurable open environment that supports collaborative experimental design and execution on the Internet. The environment is created with few simple conngurations of a generic client. The platform-speciic executable client requires no installation and is based on the client-server/peer-to-peer Omni-Flow/OmniDesk architecture, described elsewhere. This paper introduces the OpenExperiment environment in the context of graph problems and two related objectives of experimental design: (1) distinguishability of graph equivalence classes, and (2) measuring the performance of algorithms that solve NP-hard problems on such classes. The key challenges addressed in the paper relate to task ows and data structures that allow any participant: (a) to create and evaluate a series of repeatable experiments, (b) to share the ows and related experimental results for independent re-execution and evaluation by peers, (c) to invoke automated publication of nal results and summaries under a project-speciic URL. The OpenExperiment environment has been tested with two experimental design projects in two very diierent domains: (1) circuit classes and variable ordering algorithms to minimize ROBDD (reduced-order binary decision diagram) size, and (2) circuit classes and algorithms to minimize the crossing number in 2-layer graph embed-dings. The experiments in the latter involve a total of eight distributed participants under four operating systems. These and other experimental design projects are open to registered participants from anywhere. formats.
