This paper describes MOMOSE, a highly flexible and easily extensible environment for the simulation of mobility models. MOMOSE not only allows a programmer to easily integrate a new mobility model into the set of models already included in its distribution, but it also allows the user to let the nodes of the MANET move in different ways by associating any mobility model to any subset of the nodes themselves. The environment allows the user to define and to subsequently use configuration windows, whose content depends on the mobility model, and its GUI includes a simulation window that allows the user to manage and control the execution of a simulation. Moreover, MOMOSE allows the user to simulate the movement of the nodes within a “realistic” environment, where obstacles (such as buildings and barriers) are present and limit the movement of the nodes. Finally, MOMOSE can be easily adapted in order to record, during the simulation time, all the data necessary for the evaluation of the performance of any communication protocol or of any MANET-based application. As far as we know, MOMOSE is the only mobility model simulation environment that has all these features and which is currently available as a free software project.

Abstract
This paper describes MOMOSE, a highly flexible and easily extensible environment for the simulation of mobility models. MOMOSE not only allows a programmer to easily integrate a new mobility model into the set of models already included in its distribution, but it also allows the user to let the nodes of the MANET move in different ways by associating any mobility model to any subset of the nodes themselves. The environment allows the user to define and to subsequently use configuration windows, whose content depends on the mobility model, and its GUI includes a simulation window that allows the user to manage and control the execution of a simulation. Moreover, MOMOSE allows the user to simulate the movement of the nodes within a “realistic” environment, where obstacles (such as buildings and barriers) are present and limit the movement of the nodes. Finally, MOMOSE can be easily adapted in order to record, during the simulation time, all the data necessary for the evaluation of the performance of any communication protocol or of any MANET-based application. As far as we know, MOMOSE is the only mobility model simulation environment that has all these features and which is currently available as a free software project.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
