The research work has resulted in some conference papers and journals:
J. Hortelano, J. C. Cano, C. T. Calafate, and P. Manzoni. ``Castadiva: a test-bed architecture for mobile ad hoc networks'' in Symposium on Personal Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC 2007), Athens, Greece, September 2007. The IEEE Communications Society.
In this paper we present the Castadiva tool, presenting its architecture and showing some test with synthetic traffic.J. Hortelano, M. Nácher, J. C. Cano, C. T. Calafate, and P. Manzoni. ``Performance evaluation of a mobile ad hoc network test-bed architecture'' in XVIII Jornadas de Paralelismo, pages 253-261, Zaragoza, Spain, September 2007. CEDI.
This paper compares Castadiva with ns-2. Several test to compare our test-bed with the most spreaded simulator are performed, explaining the little differences between booth tools.J. Hortelano, M. Nácher, J. C. Cano, C. T. Calafate, and P. Manzoni. ``Evaluating the goodness of MANETs performance results obtained with the ns-2 simulator'' in First International Workshop on Network Simulation Tools 2007, Nantes, France, October 2007. ACM/ICST.
In this paper we add external traffic functionality and present the utility of a tool that can use real devices to generate simulation. For example here we use web cams to generate a demonstration of this extra functionality.J. Hortelano, J. C. Cano, C. T. Calafate, and P. Manzoni. ``Evaluating the Performance of Real Time Videoconferencing in Ad Hoc Networks Through Emulation'' in 22nd ACM/IEEE/SCS Workshop on Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation 2008, Rome, Italy, June 2008. ACM/IEEE/SCS.
Here we present a study of a videoconference through different scenarios generated by Castadiva.J. Hortelano, J. C. Cano, C. T. Calafate, and P. Manzoni. ``Testing Applications in MANET Environments through Emulation" EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, vol. 2009, Article ID 406979, 20 pages, 2009. doi:10.1155/2009/406979
This Journal includes the information presented in the publications showed below and an extensive evaluation of the use of media traffic in different scenarios with different levels of noise.W. Vossen, A. Torres, J. Hortelano, J. C Cano, C. T. Calafate and P. Manzoni, ``Extending an emulation platform for automatized and distributed evaluation of QoS in MANETs" in XXI Jornadas de Paralelismo, Valencia, Spain, September 2010. CEDI.
This works add extra functionality to Castadiva for evaluating the QoS of wireless devices. Also improves the automation of Castadiva for performing a battery of tests.
