This document provides a brief introduction and analysis of the simulation tool VanetMobiSim/NS-2 proposed for the simulation of different CARLINK scenarios. 1. For a trustworthy VANETs simulation in CARLINK project it is necessary to use a simulation tool that includes both a traffic simulator and a network simulator. The simulator proposed here is one composed by VanetMobiSim, as a traffic ge...

One of the most highly regarded discrete event simulators used for network simulation is NS-2 (Network Simulator). NS-2 executes simulation scenarios producing various data of which trace files are considered the most beneficial for evaluating a simulation. In this paper we present the design considerations and implementation of a new tool that can be used both in TRAce FILe analysis and execut...

The Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) is a popular and powerful simulation environment, and the number of NS-2 users has increased greatly in recent years. Although it was originally designed for wired networks, NS-2 has been extended to work with wireless networks, including wireless LANs, mobile ad hoc networks, and sensor networks. The Network Animator (NAM) for NS-2 has not been extended for wirel...

This paper describes the simulation of iSCSI in the Network Simulator, ns-2. The iSCSI protocol is an IETF standard to send SCSI commands over the Internet. The ns-2 is an open source network simulator that is widely used in performance evaluation of several network protocols. The addition of iSCSI layer within ns-2 will enable the future research for performance evaluation of iSCSI in differen...

Wireless network research in the last years is often based on simulation. Ns-2 is a widely used wireless network simulation tool for this purpose. However, there are no published results about the accuracy of the ns-2 wireless model in the literature so far. In this paper we present the validation of one wireless network model built with ns-2 done by comparing the network characteristics of a s...

There are already many projects try to tell us how to use NS-2 easily, while not as that difficult as its official manual says. However, how to easily use NS-2 to do performance evaluation is still lacking. Usually, a trace file which comes out from one time NS-2 simulation is larger than 600MB, to analysis this huge file definitely will cost great time. Till now, there are many evaluation meth...

ns-3 is the successor of ns-2, the most popular network simulator. Network simulators such as ns-3 play an important role on understanding, designing, and building Internet systems. But simulations are only as good as their models, and the simulation of large scale Internet systems using accurate and complex models is a challenging task. ns-3 simulates realistically the network stack but the sc...

Stochastic discrete event simulation methodology is becoming increasingly popular among network researchers around the world in recent years. This is partly because of the availability of various sophisticated and powerful simulation software packages, but also because of the flexibility in model construction and validation. This paper describes our experience in using the ns-2 network simulato...

in this report, we describe a procedure for in-silico design of a novel haloalkane dehalogenase protein that exhibits luciferase property which can be potentially used in biosensor applications. from a pdb blast search, the selected haloalkane dehalogenase (pdb code: 1ede) had a close structural homology with a lucifearse (pdb code: 2psj chain a) sharing an identity of 33%. initially, the amino...
