Abstract: Virtual nodes offer a convenient abstraction to programmers writing
software for ad-hoc wireless networks, and one promising application for
them is routing over multihop ad-hoc networks.  One of the primary tools
for evaluating new routing protocols is simulation.  Yet simulating
routing protocols in a mobile ad-hoc environment can be a time-consuming
task that often requires detailed knowledge of simulator specific
interfaces.

In this talk, I will discuss a framework for simulating wireless
applications that attempts to ease development by using familiar system
interfaces, and a set of planned of simulation experiments to evaluate
virtual node based routing protocols.
