The introduction of physical layer network coding gives rise to the concept of turning a collision of transmissions on a wireless channel useful. In the idea of physical layer network coding, two synchronized simultaneous packet transmissions are carefully encoded such that the superimposed transmission can be decoded to produce a packet which is identical to the bitwise binary sum of the two transmitted packets. This paper explores the decoding of superimposed transmission resulted by multiple synchronized simultaneous transmissions. We devise a coding scheme that achieves the identification of individual transmission from the synchronized superimposed transmission. A mathematical proof for the existence of such a coding scheme is given.

This project constitutes an implementation of a custom-design distributed computing environment. The implementation is based on a form of Nbody simulation, which ran successfully across 33 networked-hosts.

The main goal of this project is the development of an IFX Transaction Switch that handle particular devices like an ATM (J/XFS compliant), POS in the future, and other devices that speak a common language: IFX

In this paper we propose a Joint Network Coding based Cooperative Retransmission (JNC- CR) scheme, where we show that ANC along with DNC can offer a much higher retransmission gain than that attainable through either ANC, DNC or Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) based retransmission.

jnetstack - The Java Network Stack , provides a Java API to research-oriented network programming.

Multicast Inter-Domain Routing for MANETs (or MIDRM) is a multicast support system for IDRM, a novel networking framework, which enables inter-domain routing between Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and between MANETs and the Internet.

Mangrovia is a tool for automatic complex multilayer topology generation in a compatible format with Network Simulator 2 (ns-2). Based on specs (in xml format), software creates an otcl script. Users can set Bandwidths, Distances, Linking Policies.

MiXiM is a simulator for wireless and mobile networks using the OMNeT++ simulation engine.

This program reads the output traces of MITSIMLab and converts them into a format which can be read and visualized by Ns 2.

Mupisim is a simulator for distributed, mobile systems. Its primary purpose is the study of mobile processes (e.g. mobile agents) and their communication mechanisms. It may also be used to evaluate the efficiency of a given process migration scheme.

The Network Security Response Framework (NSRF) allows for testing different computer security response engines and methodologies. It supports simulated and real: Intrusion Detection Systems (sensors), Attacks, and Responses.

The goal of this project is to be an improvement of the original Network Animator (NAM) module provided as part of the Network Simulator 2 (NS2). This tool provides topology visualization, TCL script generation, and enhanced simulation animation.

A wireless push-type network simulator that considers locality of demand for performance improvement. The network environment consists of multiple directed emitters for parallel data broadcasting. Performance depends on the mean response time of clients.

Router Radio Protocol Tools provide router (server) simulator and a radio (client) simulator for the radio-router protocol. The router simulator can be used to support the integration of the protocol into a radio.

ShoX is a scalable simulator for wireless networks written in Java. It is easy to install, configure and use, so that reliable and expressive scientific results can be gathered in a short time. Documentation: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/shox

TOPO is a simple tool that allows the user to create and manipulate arbitrary Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) topologies without worrying about the anomalies that could arise using a text-base topology description. It is fast and easy to use and can accelerate small scale projects such as network simulation. The tool is still undergoing development stage and is open to extension. One the candidate component to be soon integrated is a WSN discrete event simulator.
