SIMULATION TECHNOLOGIES IN NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATIONS

Features •Addresses various issues covering different mechanisms related to simulation technologies in networking •Focuses on the practice of simulation testing instead of the theory •Reviews and evaluates popular simulation modeling tools •Recommends the best tools for a specific test Summary Simulation is a widely used mechanism for validating the theoretical models of networking and communication systems. Although the claims made based on simulations are considered to be reliable, how reliable they are is best determined with real-world implementation trials. Simulation Technologies in Networking and Communications: Selecting the Best Tool for the Test addresses the spectrum of issues regarding the different mechanisms related to simulation technologies in the networking and communications fields. Focusing on the practice of simulation testing instead of the theory, it presents the work of more than 50 experts from around the world.
