[ns] Scenario Generator for Mobile Ad Hoc Network simulations

[Li Qiming <liqiming@comp.nus.edu.sg>]

Hi all,  

NS-2 is popularly used by the MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) community 
to simulate movement of and communication among mobile hosts.
I have written a scenario generator for specifying movement patterns 
and translating them into Tcl scripts for NS-2 (ns2.1b6 and above).

The generator assumes that a scenario is specified by
* a rectangular area, start and stop time;
* groups of nodes, where each group may have a center;
* the movement of each group is described by 
  the mobility model for the center (if any) and
  the mobility model for group members relative to the center.

The mobility models that have been implemented include Random
Waypoint Model, Brownian Motion Model, Gauss-Markov Motion Model, 
and so on.  Nodes can accelerate.

The code is available at:
  http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~liqiming/fyp/scengen/index.html

The package includes three sample scenario files, as well as (a 
slightly modified) ad-hockey from the previous cmu extensions for 
viewing the generated Tcl files.

Please feel free to download the code and give it a spin.
Your feedback (especially on whether and how I should develop
the generator further) is most welcome.

Regards,
Qiming
