This paper introduces OLIMPO, an useful simulation tool for researchers who are developing wireless sensor communication protocols. OLIMPO is a discreteevent simulator design to be easily reconfigured by the user, providing a way to design, develop and test communication protocols. In particular, we have designed a self-organizing wireless sensor network for low data rate. Our premise is that, ...

Network processing plays an important role in the development of Internet as more and more complicated applications are deployed throughout the network. With the advent of new platforms such as network processors (NPs) that incorporate novel architectures to speedup packet processing, there is an increasing need for an efficient method to facilitate the study of their performance. In this paper...

SUMMARY BooleSim (Boolean network simulator) is an open-source in-browser tool for simulation and manipulation of Boolean networks. It was developed mainly during Google's Summer of Code 2012 and uses the biographer project for network visualization. It can be used specifically for the modeling of gene regulatory or signal transduction networks. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION BooleSim is fre...

Sensor network simulations require high fidelity and timing accuracy to be used as an implementation and evaluation tool. The cycle-accurate and instruction-level simulator is the known solution for these purposes. However, this type of simulation incurs a high computation cost since it has to model not only the instruction level behavior but also the synchronization between multiple sensors fo...

A novel tool for the study of IP over WDM networks is presented. The tool is a network level simulator named GANCLES that includes several innovative features allowing the study of realistic scenarios in IP over WDM networks, making it an ideal tool for traffic engineering purposes. GANCLES architecture enables the simulation of dynamic traffic grooming on top of a realistic network model that ...

In this work, an initial variant of an 802.11s simulation model for the QualNet simulator is described. The tool builds on the existing QualNet 802.11 model by adding capabilities suitable for mesh networking. More specifically, the model provides support for propagation of beacon frames in mesh networks and link establishment procedures by which nodes attach to the network.

In this paper, we present a tool called the CVP Simulator Tool, which enables users to model a computer network and its connectivity, and detects and eliminates any existing Cascade Vulnerability Problems (CVP). Users can add computers into a network, define what kind of information the computer can hold (e.g., Top Secret, Classified), establish connections between computers, assign a value to ...

Over the last several years of research, we have developed a large-scale biologically realistic neocortical neural network simulator. The simulator's eeective-ness as a research tool has been limited due to accessibility and ease of use. The web portal for the neocortical simulator provides online access from anywhere in the world at any time. Its GUI interface allows users to build and simulat...

NS-2 is an open-source discrete event network simulator which is widely used by both the research community as well as by the people involved in the standardization protocols of IETF. The goal of this book is twofold: on one hand to learn how to use the NS-2 simulator, and on the other hand, to become acquainted with and to understand the operation of some of the simulated objects using NS-2 si...
