[ns] I don't know how to load the scenario-file in probabilistic distribution !!!!!!

2011-12-19 Thread tamer jahamneh

Dear Ns-Users,

Actually, I am trying to implement the " Probabilistic Algorithm in NS2".

The problem is; when I generate a scenario file in a randomly distributed nodes 
in the network, I give the scenario file a filename using ./setdest.

But when I run the simulation it tells me that it cannot readt the scenario 
file. So I am afraid that I miss something and do not know it indeed.

the syntax to implement the tcl script is:

Script usage is : ns pbcast_randsim.tcl -scenfile (scenario-file) -prob 
(probability) 


 I use the following when implementing:

tamer@zeid:~/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/pbcast$ ns pbcast_randsim.tcl -scenfile 
scen-20 -prob 0.6


and it gives me the following:

num_nodes is set 20
couldn't read file "scen-20": no such file or directory
    while executing
"source.orig scen-20"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel source.orig [list $fileName]"
    invoked from within
"if [$instance_ is_http_url $fileName] {
set buffer [$instance_ read_url $fileName]
uplevel eval $buffer
} else {
uplevel source.orig [list $fileName]
..."
    (procedure "source" line 8)
    invoked from within
"source $val(scenfile)"
    (file "pbcast_randsim.tcl" line 113)

The defining options are the following:

# ==
# Define options
# ==
set val(chan)           Channel/WirelessChannel    ;# channel type
set val(prop)           Propagation/TwoRayGround   ;# radio-propagation model

   ;# scenario file
set val(x)500.0   ;
set val(y)500.0   ;
set val(simtime)100.0   ; #sim time

 Could any one help please?

Thank you in advance.

 CALL FOR PAPERS -

The 2nd IEEE Internacional Workshop of Smart Communication Protocols and 
Algorithms (IEEE SCPA 2012 - Summer)
June 10-15, 2012, Ottawa, CANADA
In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012
http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2012

Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and 
Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN 
1943-3581)

Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network 
devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies 
usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows 
data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances 
in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions 
and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate 
across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us 
include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to 
enhance the communication procedure.

Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and 
techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, 
knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem 
solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer 
data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the 
user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the 
appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The 
algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order 
to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take 
consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate 
decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits 
best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with 
smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and !
 use this knowledge to improve futur
e decisions.

In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the 
design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols 
or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on 
artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, 
quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are 
included in the workshop. 

We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, 
practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific 
proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics
