Abstract:

Developing network protocols for mobile wireless systems is a complex task, andmost of the existing simulator frameworks are not well suited for experimentaldevelopment. The YAES simulation framework was specifically developed such thatit allows the fast prototyping of networking protocols, and support real-timeexperimentation and refactoring. By providing a large set of abstractions andgeneric implementations, a number of frequently used techniques such as geneticalgorithms or neural networks can be created in matter of minutes. Ourexperience shows that by requiring only Java programming skills which computerscience and engineering students commonly possess, YAES can be a useful tool forclassroom use, as well.This paper presents the considerations behind the YAES architecture and providesa description of the system. As a case study, we present the steps necessary forrunning experiments on the energy efficiency behavior of the Weighted ClusteringAlgorithm (WCA).
