Abstract

The development and testing of wireless sensor networks is a cumbersome and tedious task. Therefore, a number of simulators, testbeds and other tools have been developed. Unfortunately, these tools are not able to cooperate since they have not been designed with cooperation in mind. In this paper, we present an approach to make simulation tools cooperate that is based on common input and output format. Using the recently developed WiseML format, we show that our approach is a viable solution for making simulators cooperate.
