Evaluation and selection method of network simulation tools Artículo corto 55 ResumenExisten diversas herramientas de software para simulación de redes (comerciales y libres). El hecho genera una pregunta interesante para los investigadores: ¿Cuál es mejor utilizar? Este artículo propone un nuevo método de evaluación/ selección basado en dos elementos claves: la norma ISO/IEC 9126-1, que define un modelo de calidad y evaluación de herramientas de software; y una función de costo, compuesta por los valores asignados a las seis características definidas en dicha norma, que permite obtener una valoración para cada una de las herramientas de software a evaluar, basándose en la encuesta a expertos. Se realizó un ejercicio de prueba del método propuesto, para evaluar las herramientas de simulación NS-2 y NCTUns, y sus resultados se contrastaron con la información consultada en publicaciones (artículos e informes técnicos) sobre evaluación/selección de herramientas de simulación de redes. AbstractCurrently exists many software tools designed for Network Simulation (both commercial and Open source), situation that present an important decision to make for many researchers: Which tool use for network simulation? This paper proposes a method for evaluation/selection of network simulation tools, based in two key factors: ISO/IEC 9126-1 standard, which defines a quality model for software evaluation; and a cost function, based on values assigned to each one of the six items defined by ISO/IEC 9126-1. This method allows an expert based classification for each of the analyzed tools. We executed a test for NS-2 and NCTUns network simulation tools and obtained results was contrasted with technical reports and scientific articles related with network simulation tools.

Abstract-Nodes in a mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks (MANET) can move at any speed and direction independently. Thus, it's difficult to design a testbed system for network working under such circumstance. Different from traditional software simulation or vehicle-loaded methods, a remote network performance testbed system is proposed in this paper. The main idea of our proposed system is using the rotary motion to create such velocitychanging context. Then, we designed and realized a high speed rotary turntable platforms. Nodes can be deployed on the rotary platform, thus it can movement with the platform at a high speed (up to 168 km/h) during test. Shown by the experiments, the approach is simple, efficient and reliable. The reason of network packet loss in our testbed is also analyzed and tested in this research.

“…User interface issues are seldom covered, except for topics like simulation [11,31], quality of service [26,29] and deployment [32]. Emergency response is sometimes put forward as a suitable application area for ad hoc networks [10,24], and there has also been conducted work on network solutions targeted at emergency response [6,13,21], but most of this work also focus on network issues.…”

Abstract. In this paper we use findings from three empirical studies to analyze how the use of wireless ad hoc networks as part of an ICT solution for emergency response imposes requirements to the user interface of these solutions. The analysis starts by arguing that explicit details about the network used (like availability, coverage and connected nodes) should be visualized for the user and may be used by applications to obtain useful information. It continues by discussing requirements to user interfaces for local leaders and field workers, identifying cross-platform support as an important need for the leaders and supporting different modalities as an important need for field workers. These and other requirements are used as input to an analysis of challenges when developing these user interfaces, concluding that handling flexibility is essential. Finally, we turn around and look at ad hoc networks from a user interface perspective. In particular, we present requirements to ad hoc networks used in ICT solutions for emergency response, focusing on size, speed and providing awareness of network status through the nodes in the network themselves.
