The Distributed Sensors Simulator (DSS)
DSS 0.8 is an alpha version
of a simulation framework that assists in implementing and debugging
wireless DSNs. The user provides data on
node locations and characteristics, defines event phenomena, and
plugs in the applications each node runs. DSS provides simulation
of the wireless and environmental channels to ease development
of sensor node programs written in the DSS API. DSS was spefically
designed
for investigations of topological, phenomenological, networking, robustness,
and scaling issues in DSNs.
Current work on version 0.9 (to appear in 2005) involves an
incompatible rewrite, but offers much more realism and responsiveness
for
arbitrary code written for sensor nodes.
This open source distribution is available in several archive formats:
dss-v08.zip
dss-v08.tgz
dss-v08.tar.bz2
NOTICE: Version 0.8 has been determined to be dependent
on the RedHat 9.0 Linux distribution. Users are advised to compile using
only this operating system. Patches are welcome and we will host them
here. We will not be investigating this bug further as current development
efforts are pursuing a different direction.
For more information, see the various documents in the 'doc' directory
of the distribution or contact Sean Brennan.
