The routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (RPL) was recently designed in the ROLL working group at IETF. Few simulation tools exist that enable its evaluation in order to prepare for its real deployment. In this paper, we provide a new evaluation of this protocol with two approaches using two different simulators adapted to our needs. We first evaluated the value of mobile sinks in ...

As the integration density and complexity of the system-on-Chip (SOC) increases, the conventional interconnects are not suitable to fulfil the demands. The application of traditional network technologies in the form of Network-on-Chip is a possible solution. NoC design space has numerous variables. As an improved topology is selected complexities decrease and power-efficiency increases. In this...

Mobile networks are managed by means of operations support systems (OSS) which facilitate performance, fault, and configuration management. Network complexity is increasing due to the heterogeneity of cell types, devices, and applications. Characterization and configuration of networks optimally in such a scenario is challenging task. This paper introduces an experimental platform that combines...

A simulation technique for very large-scale data parallel programs is proposed. In our simulation method, a data parallel program is divided into computation and communication sections. When the control ow of the parallel program does not depend on the contents of network messages, the computation time on each processor is calculated independently. An instrumentation tool called EXCIT is used t...

Wireless Networked Control Systems (WNCS), specially, WNCS over Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) have become an interesting area in research community. However, designing a successful WNCS over MANET brings new challenges to the researchers. The motivations of this paper are to identify the design issues, highlighting recent researches for the issues, to establish guidelines for successful impleme...

An integrated modeling and simulation tool called Componentbased System Modeler and Simulator (CoSMoS) is developed. It supports visual development of families of models that have well-defined logical specifications. The logical componentbased models persist in relational databases and may be automatically translated into specific target simulation and markup programming languages. The underlyi...
