Abstract

Simulation is extremely crucial and often the only way for conducting research in complex system like mobile computing. In a recent study, it is observed that the credibility of the simulation results in the field has decreased while the use of simulation has steadily increased. Part of this credibility crisis is related to the simulation of mobility of the nodes in the system. It is not surprising to see that mobility has such a fundamental influence on the behavior of mobile systems. Therefore, a clear knowledge about mobility used in the system is not only helpful but also essential for the understanding and interpretation of the system behavior under study. Proper knowledge about the mobility of the nodes in the system can be better obtained by having a tool or a component that is independent and interactive to specify, visualize, analyze, and then generate mobility traces for the simulation. We have developed such a mobility generator software called RealMobiSim. In this note we propose to demonstrate RealMobiSim to the 2008 MSWiM attendees.
