Abstract

In this paper, we introduce our Open Source tool-chain providing the parametrization, distributed execution, results post-processing and debugging for OMNeT++-based simulations. While the initial motivation of these tools has been the support of our simulation model of the Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) framework, it has been particularly designed with model-independence in mind. That is, it can be easily adapted to other simulation models and therefore may be useful for other users of OMNeT++-based simulation models as well.
