More than the 70% of the earth surface is covered with water (almost all of 
that is the ocean). New technologies have brought us new ways to monitor and 
sense aquatic environments. Marine surveillance, pollution detection and 
monitoring, and oceanographic data collection are needed to explore, protect, 
and commercial exploit the aquatic environment. Many potential applications 
exist such as fish and mussels grow observation, deep-sea archaeology, seismic 
and volcanic prediction, oil monitoring and so on.

This special issue tries to collect the recent advances on underwater sensors 
and underwater sensor networks to measure, monitor, surveillance and control 
underwater environments. Because of the environment nature, many features must 
be taken into account: the need of large number of nodes, limited energy of the 
nodes, short-distance radio communications, large propagation latency, low 
bandwidth capacity and high error rate. All these constraints make underwater 
sensors and underwater sensor networks a special case of the regular ones.

Topics of interest of this special issue include, but are not limited to, the 
following topics:

- Sensor nodes to measure water parameters (salinity, conductivity, turbidity, 
pH, oxygen, temperature, depth, etc.)
- Sediments and pollution sensor nodes
- Acoustic sensors
- Underwater sensor network architectures
- Wired and wireless protocols for underwater sensor networks
- Localization systems for underwater wireless sensor networks
- Target tracking using underwater sensor networks
- Optical, acoustic and electromagnetic communications for underwater sensor 
networks
- Modems for underwater sensor networks
- Study cases, implementations and real deployments of underwater sensor 
networks
- Routing protocols specialized for underwater wireless sensor networks
- Cooperation in underwater sensor networks
- Modeling and simulation in underwater sensor networks
- Data collection, storage, and retrieval by underwater sensor network

[ns] How to use Mattsson's DCCP module in ns-2.34?

2011-10-17 Thread Martin Pirhac

Hello all,

I have installed DCCP patch (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dccp-ns/files/)
for ns-2.34.
When am I trying to run any simulation using DCCP Agent, I always get error
message below:


invalid command name "Agent/DCCP/TCPlike"
while executing
"Agent/DCCP/TCPlike create _o61 "
invoked from within
"catch "$className create $o $args" msg"
invoked from within
"if [catch "$className create $o $args" msg] {
if [string match "__FAILED_SHADOW_OBJECT_" $msg] {
delete $o
return ""
}
global errorInfo
error "class $..."
(procedure "new" line 3)
invoked from within
"new Agent/DCCP/TCPlike"
invoked from within
"set dccp1 [new Agent/DCCP/TCPlike]"
(file "Simulacia_A.tcl" line 67)


The way how I use DCCP agents:

set dccp1 [new Agent/DCCP/TCPlike]
set dccpsink1 [new Agent/DCCP/TCPlike]
$ns attach-agent $s1 $dccp1
$ns attach-agent $r1 $dccpsink1
$ns connect $dccp1 $dccpsink1

I tried also use ns-2.35 (RC8), which contains module directly, but the
result is same :(
Do you have any idea what can be cause of this error message ?
I will apreciate any advices or ideas.

Thank you in advance,
Martin Pirhac

Hi,

I tried to install NS-2.33-AOMDV-Multiple-Interface patch in
ns-allinone-2.33. I followed the instructions in the Mohit P. Tahiliane
blog.

  I've tried both ways (apply patch before done ./install in ns-2 and
after we have already been successfully installed and complile ns-2)  but
the same error occurs.


trace/cmu-trace.o: In function `hdr_aomdv::access(Packet const*)':
cmu-trace.cc:(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN9hdr_aomdv6accessEPK6Packet+0x7): undefined
reference to `hdr_aomdv::offset_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ns] Error 1
Ns make failed!

Please help me.

Regards
E. Reis

Dear M Ali,
Please try changing the file permissions for configure, makefile,
makefile.in etc. in ns-2.34 and then try running "make".

Dear samira h
u can try copying and pasting contents of out.tr file onto excel file so
that all contents are in tabulated format and then u can use eac column as
an array in matlab. Hope that works..

Re: [ns] VANET protocols in ns-2

2011-10-17 Thread Ederval Pablo Ferreira

Hi Javier.

I am studying VANET and about your question the answer is:

Most of the protocols cited in such chapter of the book (I already
such book a few months ago), arent available publically. In NS2, by
default, already included in it, there are: AODV, DSR, TORA and FSR (I
think)

You can find patchs for GPSR and OLSR on the web (OLSR is not cited in
the chapter of the book - I dont know, because OLSR is a important
protocol used in ad hoc networks, in my opinion it is a fault in the
work of the Mario Gerla.

About the others protocols try to contact the authors by mail.

Good luck

Regards

Pablo
