Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate the features and limitations of Tiny OS mote simulator (TOSSIM), the sensor network simulator in TinyOS systems. The focus is on the applicability of TOSSIM for intelligent home research. As a part of the research work, we designed and implemented a simple sensor network that can be used in a virtual intelligent home. Our conclusions are based on the tests performed with the simulator as well as articles already published on TOSSIM.
