STEAM-Sim
~~~~~~~

STEAM-Sim is a simulator to establish an energy-aware simulation of wireless 
sensor networks with high time resolution. STEAM-Sim establishes a 
hardware/software/network co-simulation of wireless sensor networks.

Original C code is used in simulation. The code is natively executed by the cpu 
where the simulation is run. The time annotation engine annotates the C source 
code used for simulation with the timing information as if the code is run on a 
microcontroller. The annotation process is fully automated.

Hardware models are developed using the PAWiS framework and reflect the timing, 
functionality, and energy-consumption of real-world hardware such as a CC2420 
radio transceiver.

Network behavior in terms of wireless channel models are provided by the PAWiS 
framework. It is also possible to run STEAM-Sim with the MiXiM framework underneath 
and thus more complex channel models are provided.

STEAM-Sim is an extension to the PAWiS and MiXiM framework. The underlying 
simulator is OMNeT++. Please see the corresponding documentation.

I also ported the Contiki v2.6 operating system to STEAM-Sim, thus it is possible 
to run Contiki-based code in the simulation.
