Simulation and emulation are techniques frequently used for performance evaluation of wireless multi-hop networks. If the wireless devices are mobile, the movement patterns of these objects are found to have significant impact on the simulation and emulation results. This is quite obvious as the movements influence the topology of the network. In this paper we describe and present BonnMotion. Bonn-Motion is an open-source Java software which creates and analyzes mobility scenarios. It has been developed at the University of Bonn, Germany, where it serves as a tool for the investigation of mobile multi-hop network scenario characteristics. The scenarios can also be exported for the network simulators ns-2, GloMoSim/QualNet, COOJA, and MiXiM.

Simulators are indispensable tools to support the development and testing of cooperating objects such as wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, it is often not possible to compare the results of different simulation tools. Thus, the goal of this paper is the specification of a generic simulation platform for cooperating objects. We propose a platform that consists of a set of simulators that together fulfill desired simulator properties. We show that to achieve comparable results the use of a common specification language for the software-under-test is not feasible. Instead, we argue that using common input formats for the simulated environment and common output formats for the results is useful. This again motivates that a simulation tool consisting of a set of existing simulators that are able to use common scenario-input and can produce common output which will bring us a step closer to the vision of achieving comparable simulation results.

Simulation is acting … Acting is not typical of real-life. WSN Testbeds, Simulators, and EmulatorsTestbeds, simulators, and emulators, are effective tools to evaluate algorithms and protocols at design, development and implementation stages. Many of these tools are available, each with different features, characteristics, models and architectures for performance testing of WSNs. They are the focus of this book, as discussed in the previous chapter and accomplished in this one. It is arduous for a researcher or a practitioner to choose an appropriate tool for performance evaluation without the knowledge of the available tools, their features, as well as the pros and cons. Similarly, efforts to improve existing simulators or designing a new one require detailed understanding of useful tools readily available. This necessitates comprehensive horizontal and vertical analysis among competitors at different stages. For vertical validation of experiments, a singular approach for conducting simulation, emulation, and real world experiments in mobile ad hoc networks using a single tool is proposed in (Krop et al. 2007). As such, vertical analysis complements horizontal analysis that is performed by investigating different testbeds at almost the same level of abstraction. Recognizing the immense and diverse literature available, this chapter aims at clarifying in full details all concepts and features related to modeling and simulation, simulators and emulators.Studying and analyzing WSNs goes through different phases and approaches, starting theoretical by simulation, ending up practical via testbeds, or working midway as in emulation. The basic differentiation, as shown in Fig. 6.1, can be outlined in what follows (Coulson et al. 2012):• Physical testbeds as detailed in the previous chapter excel at high-fidelity evaluation of mature WSN designs, as well as detailed planning for real-world deployments. However, physical testbeds for WSN systems tend to be small in
