Abstract-We present a methodology based on physics laws and particles in order to represent, simulate, and architect advanced networking models. We introduce a mathematical formalism with its basic postulates seeing the messages signals and nodes as interacting/colliding particles and space-temporal zones, respectively. In particular we focus on using this "Particle" view for Ad-Hoc networks, where we can represent network nodes as the moving particles in physics. This idea can be used in several types of networks like sensor or mobile, and even to computational systems, this first presentation aims to continue with further work on robustness, tools, and examples on how this view can be used in specification of complex networks in conjunction with existing methodologies and tools.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
