Abstract

The paper addresses issues associated with modeling and simulation of wireless, mobile, and ad hoc networks. Particular attention is paid to an approach for federating parallel and distributed ad hoc networks simulators. We describe the design, functionality, implementation and performance of MobASim system. It is a Java-based software platform for MANETs simulation performed on parallel computers or computer clusters. The practical application is provided to illustrate the operation and efficiency of the presented software tool.
