Simulator&Visualizer

Wireless Sensor Networks

NetTopo is an open source research-oriented simulator & visualizer designed to test and validate algorithms for wireless sensor networks.

The goal of NetTopo is to build a sensor network simulation and visualization tool that gives users extraordinary flexibility to simulate their own algorithms and is a compelling replacement of commercial simulator focusing on visualization of the communication in the real wireless sensor network test bed.

NetTopo with the latest version has the following features:

* Customizable sensor network topology layout.

* Configurable sensor nodes with user-defined attributes.

* Easy extensibility to simulate user-defined algorithms.

* Specific step-by-step simulation comparison between GPSR and TPGF.

* File-based function facilitating users to save and retrieve their simulating process.

* Graphical user interface with local operating system look and feel.

* (Support for XML import and export.)

* Platform independent (written in Java).

* (Integration and virtualization of the real wireless sensor network test bed.)

* (Support for 2D and 3D)
