The workflow of a network simulation study requires adherence to best practices in
methodology so that results are credible and reproducible by third parties. The opportunities …

This paper presents MACI, the first bespoke framework for the management, the scalable
execution, and the interactive analysis of a large number of network experiments. Driven by …

Simulation has been an important resource for functional and performance analyses of
computer networks. Although the number of widely adopted network simulators is small, new …

The usage of workflows to standardize processes, as well as to increase their efficiency and
the quality of the results is a common technique. So far it has only been rarely applied in …

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications requires rigorous testing and
validation, often facilitated by simulation environments. These environments abstract real …

Stochastic simulation is an important aid for the design and performance engineering of
computer networks. The credibility of simulative results can, however, be seriously affected …

With the rising number and diversity of validation methods, the need for a tool supporting an
easy exploitation of those methods emerges. We introduce FAMVal, a validation architecture …

Recent studies have indicated that tools that automate the execution of simulation
experiments can serve to enhance both the usability of network simulators and the credibility …

Empirical study of complex computer networks is costly, disruptive, and simply impractical.
Simulating network models is a viable alternative, though this too has problems; the process …
