-To be more concrete, DETER researchers have used the federation system to interconnect electrical power systems, high speed power simulation, a controlled IP network and a situational awareness display sited at three disparate research labs into a coherent whole. This example shows a federation between DETER, tyhe University of Illinois and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
+== Combining Specialized Resources ==
+
+The most common reason to create a federated experiment is to build an experimental environment that combines the specialties of multiple institutions.
+
+For example, DETER researchers have used the federation system to interconnect electrical power systems, high speed power simulation, a controlled IP network and a situational awareness display sited at three disparate research labs into a coherent whole. This example shows a federation between DETER, tyhe University of Illinois and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

+The federation system handles the internetworking of those resources, allowing the researchers to combine expertise.
+
+== Collaboration and Competition ==
+
+Another use of federation is to construct experiments where different reserachers have different levels of access to different parts of the overall experiment.  Experimenters preparing defenses can be linked to experimenters preparing attacks and to a shared environment unknown to both of them.  The result is a controlled interaction between groups of experiment elements.
