Open Source Network Simulators - Page 2

Wireless Sensor Network Simulator Castalia is a simulator for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Body Area Networks (BAN) and generally networks of low-power embedded devices. It is based on the OMNeT++ platform and can be used by researchers and developers who want to test their distributed algorithms and/or protocols in realistic wireless channel and radio models, with a realistic node behaviour especially relating to access of the radio. Castalia can also be used to evaluate different platform characteristics for specific applications, since it is highly parametric, and can simulate a wide range of platforms.

Cervelletto is a neural network simulator. It uses a new neural model based on biological, neurological and psychological studies. [it's not yet completed... just give me some weeks! sorry!]

This project is based on a personal effort for researches on dynamics of coevovling networks. As a physicist, I am trying to build a framework for discrete-time dynamics of general networks, and its software libraries with APIs.

Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) for Network Simulator.

DSR-UU is an implementation of the Dynamic Source Routing protocol that runs in the Linux kernel or in the ns-2 network simulator. It was originally created at Uppsala University, hence the UU.

DYMOUM is an implementation of the DYMO (Dynamic Manet On-demand) routing protocol both for Linux kernel and ns2 network simulator, written in C and C++.

A simulator for learning techniques for dynamic bayesian networks.

ECEbuntu is a customized operating system designed for electrical and computer engineering (ECE) students. ECEbuntu is targeted to universities and students as it represents an environment that contains more than 30 pre-installed software and packages all catering to undergraduate course-work in ECE. ECEbuntu supports a range of tools including programming tools, tools for circuit analysis and pcb design, mathematical and numerical analysis tools, network analysis and tools for microwave and RF transmission design. ECEbuntu is free and is intended to be an alternate to existing copyrighted/expensive solutions. It is built on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS operating system. ECEbuntu attempts to reduce duplication of effort for building software workstations in laboratories and is intended to act as a good teaching source for a class room setting.

This project deals with the implementation of a Fisheye State Routing (FSR) module for the network simulator ns-2. It can be integrated into ns-2 to simulate mobile ad hoc networks using FSR for routing data packets.

A Graphical Editor and Animator for the ns-2 Network Simulator.

GatcomSUMO is a multi-platform application that facilitates the building of VANET simulations using the SUMO traffic simulator and the OMNeT++ network simulator. The tasks related to the generation of abstract or synthetic scenarios, the download and conversion of network scenarios based on real maps (e.g. from OpenStreetMap), the route creation process, and the vehicles mobility modelling are integrated in a user-friendly graphical interface. This tool performs the necessary actions by invoking the set of utilities included in SUMO, saving the user from typing complex command-line orders. GatcomSUMO visualizes the network and routes easily, and they are created in such a way to meet the requirements of the involved simulators, in particular OMNeT++, in order to avoid misunderstandings and runtime errors. The application allows the conversion of the spatial coordinates used by SUMO into those used by OMNeT++, which is essential to place fixed elements like RSUs.

Grubix is a sophisticated and scalable discrete-event ad hoc network simulator written in Java. It is geared towards mobile wireless networks with many nodes in both indoor and outdoor scenarios. GrubiX is a maintained fork of the Shox project.

This is a Network Simulator to simulate the Hypercube Protocol

This is a basic implementation of an Information-Centric Network simulator, following the architecture suggested by Blackadder. It was by the University of Essex for the needs of the PAL project and it include Publishers, Subscribers, RV and a Topology Manager.

An implementation of the GSD service discovery protocol for the network simulator ns2 (http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/). The protocol core is written in c++ whereas simulation settings and scenarios can be set up via OTCL scripts -- as usual in ns2.

Script to install Network Simulator 2 with the compiler version gcc-4.6 on Ubuntu 12.04

iSNS is an interactive neural network simulator written in Java/Java3D. The program is intended to be used in lessons of Neural Networks. The program was developed by students as the software project at Charles University in Prague.

A VUB (www.vub.ac.be) -student project to simulate an ip/tcp and digital network. The project has ended for this year, files will be released in febr 2004. In october, a new group of students will continue to work on this project.

JBotSim is a multipurpose dynamic network simulator that allows to quickly prototype a distributed algorithm and test its behavior on a set of static or mobile nodes. If mobile, the nodes can be controlled by the mouse or by program.

How can we analyze the water quality of a river? How can we monitor streets, cities, provinces of a country? How can we predict and prevent problems coming from earthquakes, snowstorms, fire spreads and all kinds of natural disasters? How can we test some new drugs without using animals? These and many other problems are initially solved by using simulators. It is extremely expensive, and sometimes dangerous, to test initial ideas in a real environment. We must use simulators to achieve comfortable confidence levels before real tests. This way, we develop simulation models where entities, named sensors, collect environment data, process data, communicate, move around the space and a lot more. JSensor is a sensor network simulator implemented at Computer Science Department of Federal University of Ouro Preto (DECOM-UFOP), Brazil. In contrast to JSensor counterparts, it is designed to simulate millions of sensors in multicore and, in near future, multicomputer architectures.

An educational network simulator.

Lens is the light, efficient network simulator, written by Doug Rohde. LensOSX is a native MacOSX port of Lens that runs on MacOSX 10.5 or higher, created by Harm Brouwer, Daniel de Kok and Hartmut Fitz.

LiNNS is not just a Neural Network Simulator, but a Neural Network System - a framework which covers the full lifecycle of a neural network, from design and research till usage in an external application.

Liowsn (Linux for works with WSN) was created to assist teachers, students and people involved with projects of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The operating system is Ubuntu 9.10 remastered and it contains several tools for simulation and testing installed to work with WSN.
