Masters Project, CIS 695

To graduate, either a Master's project or thesis is required by the school of computer science. If a student decides to do a project there are two types of projects that can be done. First, project can be a software engineering project where a piece of software is created and software engineering methodologies are followed. Second, a research project can be done in which the student researches an open issue in computer science.

I chose to do a research project in vehicular ad hoc networks.

NS-2 Simulation Scripts

A perl script to analyze an ns-2 trace file to determine the broadcast reception
A perl script to analyze an ns-2 trace file to determine the access time of the 802.11 MAC layer.
A perl script to generate random broadcast traffic for ns-2.
A perl script to create a map file of a circular road similar to simulation.png, that is read by USC mobility generator to create a mobility file for an ns-2 simulation.
A tcl script for an ns-2 wireless simulation, that uses a single broadcast traffic class.
A perl script to run multiple ns-2 simulations that varies the number of mobile nodes in the simulation.
A perl script to run multiple ns-2 simulations varying the CW size.
