Flexible simulation of distributed protocols for mobile computing
Ricardo Couto Antunes da Rocha, Markus Endler · 2000
This article describes MobiCS (Mobile Computing Simulator), a distributed protocol simulator for mobile computing that facilitates the prototyping and testing of protocols based on high-level programming abstractions and simulation transparency. The main contribution of MobiCS is the implementation of a software architecture for simulators that supports interchangeable simulation modes without affecting the distributed protocols being prototyped. Through MobiCS we aim at providing a unified tool both for testing the correctness of a protocol and for evaluating its performance in a simulated environment.
