interface through which data could be fed into the simulator rather than a simula-

tion of the sensed environment itself.

8.15.14 OMNET++

OMNET++ (Objective Modular Network Test-bed in C++) is a public-source,

modular, discrete-event simulator implemented in C++. It provides a powerful

GUI library for animation, tracing, and debugging support. Its primary applica-

tion area is communication networks. It has generic and flexible architecture which

makes it successful in other areas like queuing networks and hardware architec-

tures (Pan 2008). OMNET++ represents a framework approach which provides

an infrastructure for writing different simulations. Example of a WSN simulator
