Large steps in cloth simulation

by David Baraff, Andrew Witkin - SIGGRAPH 98 Conference Proceedings , 1998
"... The bottle-neck in most cloth simulation systems is that time steps must be small to avoid numerical instability. This paper describes a cloth simulation system that can stably take large time steps. The simulation system couples a new technique for enforcing constraints on individual cloth particle ..."

Analysis of TCP Performance over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Part I: Problem Discussion and Analysis of Results

by Gavin Holland, Nitin Vaidya , 1999
"... Mobile ad hoc networks have gained a lot of attention lately as a means of providing continuous network connectivity to mobile computing devices regardless of physical location. Recently, a large amount of research has focused on the routing protocols needed in such an environment. In this two-part ..."

GloMoSim: A Library for Parallel Simulation of Large-scale Wireless Networks

by Xiang Zeng, Rajive Bagrodia, Mario Gerla - in Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation , 1998
"... A number of library-based parallel and sequential network simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library, called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be extensible and composable: the communication p ..."

Flocks, herds, and schools: a distributed behavior model,

by Craig W Reynolds - Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH , 1987
"... Abstract The aggregate motion of a flock of birds, a herd of land animals, or a school of fish is a beautiful and familiar part of the natural world. But this type of complex motion is rarely seen in computer animation. This paper explores an approach based on simulation as an alternative to script ..."

of the simulated flock is the result of the dense interaction of the relatively simple behaviors of the individual simulated birds.

Critical values for cointegration tests

by James G. Mackinnon, James G. Mackinnon - Eds.), Long-Run Economic Relationship: Readings in Cointegration , 1991
"... This paper provides tables of critical values for some popular tests of cointegration and unit roots. Although these tables are necessarily based on computer simulations, they are much more accurate than those previously available. The results of the simulation experiments are summarized by means of ..."

A Survey of Mobility Models for Ad Hoc Network Research

by Tracy Camp , Jeff Boleng, Vanessa Davies - WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS & MOBILE COMPUTING (WCMC): SPECIAL ISSUE ON MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKING: RESEARCH, TRENDS AND APPLICATIONS , 2002
"... In the performance evaluation of a protocol for an ad hoc network, the protocol should be tested under realistic conditions including, but not limited to, a sensible transmission range, limited buffer space for the storage of messages, representative data traffic models, and realistic movements of t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1213 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
, we present simulation results that illustrate the importance of choosing a mobility model in the simulation of an ad hoc network protocol. Specifically, we illustrate how the performance results of an ad hoc network protocol drastically change as a result of changing the mobility model simulated.

The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network

by Sze-yao Ni, Yu-chee Tseng, Yuh-shyan Chen, Jang-ping Sheu - ACM Wireless Networks , 2002
"... Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in par-ticular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be executed more frequently (such as finding a route to a particular host, paging a particular host, and sending an alarm s ..."

-tify this problem by showing how serious it is through anal-yses and simulations. We propose several schemes to reduce redundant rebroadcasts and differentiate timing of rebroad-casts to alleviate this problem. Simulation results are pre-sented, which show different levels of improvement over the basic flooding

A Performance Comparison of Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols

by Josh Broch, David A. Maltz, David B. Johnson, Yih-chun Hu, Jorjeta Jetcheva , 1998
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Due to the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces, multiple network "hops " ma ..."

is available. This paper presents the results of a detailed packet-level simulation comparing four multi-hop wireless ad hoc network routing protocols that cover a range of design choices: DSDV, TORA, DSR, and AODV. We have extended the ns-2 network simulator to accurately model the MAC and physical

Routing with Guaranteed Delivery in ad hoc Wireless Networks

by Prosenjit Bose , Pat Morin , Ivan Stojmenovic , Jorge Urrutia , 2001
"... We consider routing problems in ad hoc wireless networks modeled as unit graphs in which nodes are points in the plane and two nodes can communicate if the distance between them is less than some fixed unit. We describe the first distributed algorithms for routing that do not require duplication of ..."

Making the most of statistical analyses: Improving interpretation and presentation

As a consequence, they miss opportunities to present quantities that are of greatest substantive interest for their research and express the appropriate degree of certainty about these quantities. ..."
