If only good coverage is required in GSM networks, high frequency reuse factors can be used. In that case the network capacity is directly determined by the number of available time slots, and no advanced radio control algorithms are needed. If high capacity is required and fractional loading is used in GSM networks, advanced radio resource management algorithms are required. Sophisticated netw...

The performance of computer communication networks is often given only cur sory treatment in undergraduate Networking or Computer Communication courses A simulation package for the investigation of many aspects of Local Area Network LAN performance is introduced Its use as a tool for allowing undergraduate Net working students to investigate the performance of a popular networking system is dis...

In this paper, we describe a general purpose network simulator generation system INSPIRE (Interconnection Network Simulator with Programmable Interaction and Routing for performance Evaluation), for massively parallel processing systems. In this system, a user describes various characteristics of the target network, for instance, network resources, network topology, and routing algorithm, in a ...

This paper describes a tool for anticipating cultural behavior called, “CulBN.” The tool uses Bayesian belief networks to represent distributions of causal knowledge spread across members of cultural groups. CulBN simulations allow one to anticipate how changes in beliefs affect decisions and actions at the cultural level of analysis. An example case from a study of Afghan decision making is us...

for technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of minimum miscibility pressure (mmp) at reservoir conditions is essential. on the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of mmp. the main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential type ...

In this paper, the virtual flight simulation environment for open-source-based avionics test system design and implementation. This paper is proposing an integrated avionics test system for flight manipulation and simulation using the commercial simulation and development software tools such as X-Plane, LabView, and Google Earth. The proposed system is designed of seven parts of user flight con...

A new suite of traction power system simulator tools has been developed to meet the engineering and design requirements of railroad and rail transit projects. The simulator has been designed to deal with both dc and ac systems and to track closely with the latest technological developments and trends in the industry. For the dc applications, features include emulation of wayside energy storage ...

This report sumarizes the main ideas and the strategy followed in the development of a static partitioning tool for a circuit simulator. This pre-processor tool will be used in an implementation of the circuit simulator CINNAMON on a multiprocessor machine.

Traditional network simulators perform well in evaluating the performance of network protocols but lack the capability of verifying the correctness of protocols. To address this problem, we have extended the J-Sim network simulator with a model checking capability that explores the state space of a network protocol to find an execution that violates a safety invariant. In this paper, we demonst...
