ABSTRACT

In this paper, we introduce our Open Source simulation tool-chain for OMNeT++ simulations: SimProcTC. This model-independent tool-chain has been designed to perform the common and frequently recurring tasks of simulation work -- which are the parametrization of runs, the distributed run processing and the results visualization -- in an efficient and easy to use manner. It is already successfully deployed for several OMNeT++-based research projects.
