Abstract

Simulation is the method of choice for the analysis of distributed communication systems. This is because of the complexity that often characterizes such systems. But simulation modeling is not a simple task mainly because there exists no unified approach that can provide description means for all aspects of the system. These aspects include architecture, behavior, communication, and configuration. In this paper we focus on simulation configuration as part of our unified modeling approach based on the Specification and Description Language Real Time (SDL-RT). Deployment diagrams are used to describe the simulation setup of the components and configuration values of a distributed system. We provide tool support for automatic implementation of the models for the ns-3 network simulation library.
