Abstract

This paper describes MOMOSE, a highly flexible and easily extensible environment for the simulation of mobility models. MOMOSE not only allows a programmer to easily integrate a new mobility model into the set of models already included in its distribution, but it also allows the user to let the nodes of the MANET move in different ways by associating any mobility model to any subset of the nodes themselves. Moreover, MOMOSE can be easily adapted in order to record, during the simulation time, all the data necessary for the evaluation of the performance of any communication protocol or of any MANET-based application.
