Simulation is the research tool of choice for a
majority of the mobile ad hoc
network (MANET) community; however, while the use of
simulation has increased,
the credibility of the simulation results has
decreased. To determine the state
of MANET simulation studies, we surveyed the
proceedings of a top conference in
the MANET area: the ACM International Symposium on
Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and
Computing (MobiHoc). From our survey, we found
significant shortfalls. Choosing
an appropriate simulation scenario to study the
performance of a MANET routing
protocol is an important process. For example,
routing will not be properly
evaluated when a simulation scenario with a low
average hop count or a large
degree of network partitioning is used. In this
talk, I will (1) present the
results of our MobiHoc survey, (2) summarize common
simulation study pitfalls
found in our survey, and (3) discuss tools that we
have created to aid the
development of more rigorous simulation studies.
While this work focuses on the
MANET field, the takeaway message in regards to
credible simulation is applicable
to other computing fields. Lastly, I will briefly
highlight past successes,
current research challenges, and future directions
of my research group.<span

and Mary for
her Ph.D. She is currently a Full Professor of
computer science at the Colorado
School of Mines. She is the Founder and Director of
the Toilers
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://toilers.mines.edu">http://toilers.mines.edu</a>), an active ad hoc
networks research group. Dr. Camp
has received 19 grants from the National Science
Foundation, including a
prestigious NSF CAREER award. This funding has
produced 12 software packages
that have been requested from (and shared with) more
than 2000 researchers in
73 countries. Dr. Camp is currently an ACM
Distinguished Lecturer, an IEEE
Senior Member, and an ACM Distinguished Scientist.
Dr. Camp is involved in both
ACM-W and CRA-W (where she co-chairs CRA-W's
Distributed REU program), and she
was honored to be the General Chair of the 2010
Grace Hopper Celebration of
Women in Computing.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
