“…Software-in-the-loop (SITL) simulation is a methodology that utilizes a simulation-based approach to evaluate the effectiveness and scalability of real software as it is deployed in the fi eld [27]. This methodology combines the use of unmodifi ed compiled code from a real application with the simulation model.…”

Mobile AdHoc NETworks (MANETs) have been identified as a key emerging technology for scenarios in which IEEE 802.11 or cellular communications are either infeasible, inefficient, or cost-ineffective. Smartphones are the most adequate network nodes in many of these scenarios, but it is not straightforward to build a network with them. We extensively survey existing possibilities to build applications on top of ad-hoc smart-phone networks for experimentation purposes, and introduce a taxonomy to classify them. We present AdHocDroid, an Android package that creates an IP-level MANET of (rooted) Android smartphones, and make it publicly available to the community. AdHocDroid supports standard TCP/IP applications, providing real smartphone IEEE 802.11 MANET and the capability to easily change the routing protocol. We tested our framework on several smartphones and a laptop. We validate the MANET running off-the-shelf applications, and reporting on experimental performance evaluation, including network metrics and battery discharge rate.

“…The design and development of the DRAMA management system can be considered as the first step towards automating network operations. By using DRAMA, we have demonstrated that the distributed, policy-based management paradigm is suitable for managing MANETs as they scale to 500 nodes [7]. In addition, our experience in using DRAMA gave us an opportunity to recognize that there was another cornerstone challenge to conquer: it is necessary to automate the specifications of appropriate management policies for different types of military missions.…”

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) have been adopted as the building blocks of future military tactical networks. We believe that the dynamic nature of such networks makes the automation of both network management and network planning a necessity rather than just a desirable feature. The creation of DRAMA, a policy-based network management system designed for managing dynamic MANETs, is the first step of this automation effort. Since the current practice requires that policies be specified manually, which we have found to be a challenging task, it is highly desirable to automate the generation of network management policies by network planning. In this paper, we present our vision of automating the management and planning of future tactical networks, describe what has been accomplished and ongoing activities, and discuss future work towards achieving this vision.

“…The creation of a network management tool that is distributed and uses the paradigm of policy-based management has been demonstrated to provide the necessary self-healing and self-adapting capabilities for managing mobile ad hoc networks [1][2] [10]. The enforcement of management policies by distributed policy agents allows the behavior of the management tool to adapt autonomously to dynamic network condition changes.…”

In this paper, we describe an approach 1 to the problem of automated policy generation for mobile ad hoc networks. The automated policy generation problem is difficult in its own right. It becomes even more challenging when the context environment to consider is a mobile ad hoc network. We designed an optimization-based, utility-driven approach aimed at generating optimal policies with respect to the given network objectives. The main novelty of this approach is in the combination of optimization heuristics and network simulation to solve the problem. We describe this approach, present the software architecture of our implementation, and illustrate this approach with a case study on automated generation of DiffServ-based QoS policies for a 50-node mobile ad hoc network.
