G-JSIM - a GUI tool for Wireless Sensor Networks simulations under J-SIM

A Wireless Sensor Network is composed of up to thousands of smart sensing nodes with processing unit and memory, sensing unit and wireless communication capabilities. Wireless Sensor Networks application spans from the military applications into almost every field we can think of. Several simulation tools are readily available and, among them, the J-Sim is a java-based simulator with growing interest by research and network developers alike. In this paper, we propose to enhance J-Sim functionality with a Guided User Interface for Wireless Sensor Networks that dramatically increases the user-friendliness of the simulator. Also, we provide a free download web page for everyone to benefit.
