Abstract

DEVS/NS-2 is a new integrated network simulation tool that provides efficient high and low level network modeling capabilities. DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) serves as a base framework to support well-defined mathematical formalism specification for structure and behavior of dynamic systems. The NS-2 is a discrete event network simulator, whose primary use is intended to build and run various detailed network models and protocols. The interoperable simulation of the two powerful modeling and simulation systems, DEVS and NS-2, allows to attain significant benefits in terms of reduction of the cost, increased high and low level networks modeling power, and enhanced reusability.
