TARWIS - Testbed Management Architecture for Wireless Sensor Network Testbeds
| Authors: | Philipp Hurni and Markus Anwander and Gerald Wagenknecht |
| Description: | TARWIS is a Web Services-based management system for administering and managing research testbeds of wireless sensor networks. TARWIS to date runs on nine different testbeds of wireless sensor network testbeds of the European Union WISEBED project, with node deployments between a few 10 to more than 100 nodes. TARWIS is a management system designed for federating testbeds of wireless sensor networks. Using Shibboleth, users can access any testbed within the WISEBED federation by using the same account credentials. The generic Web Interface, the standardized and programming-language independent Web Service interfaces of the TARWIS backend system, as well as the node and testbed-architecture independent design of TARWIS permit interested research groups to use TARWIS for their projected testbed, and to relieve them from the burden to implement own scheduling and testbed management solutions from scratch. |

VirtualMesh - An Emulation Framework for Wireless Mesh Networks in OMNeT++
| Authors: | Thomas Staub and Reto Gantenbein |
| Description: | VirtualMesh is an emulation framework for wireless mesh networks in the network simulator OMNeT++. It provides a testing architecture which can be used before going to a real test-bed. It provides instruments to test the real communication software including the network stack inside a controlled environment. VirtualMesh is implemented by capturing real traffic through a virtual interface at real mesh nodes or XEN virtualized mesh nodes. The traffic is then redirected to the network simulator OMNeT++. In our experiments, VirtualMesh has proven to be scalable, introduces moderate delays and has a high flexibility for testing. It is suitable for predeployment testing. VirtualMesh is available under the GPL license v2. |

ADAM - Administration and Deployment of Adhoc Mesh networks
| Authors: | Thomas Staub, Daniel Balsiger, Simon Morgenthaler, Paul Kim Goode, and Michael Lustenberger |
| Description: | ADAM provides fault-tolerant management and software distribution for Wireless Mesh Networks. It includes a build system for an embedded Linux operating system (ADAM Image-Builder). Currently supported node platforms are PCEngines ALIX, PCEngines WRAP, Meraki Mini/Outdoor, and Open-Mesh Mini / OM1P. The ADAM Image-builder is available under the GPL license v2. |
| NOTE: | The ADAM build system requires a machine with a recent Linux distribution installed (e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo). Ubuntu 10.10 is recommended. As the compressed archive contains symbolic links, it has to be decompressed directly on this machine. Please take a look at the various README files included in the archive (README, README.build, README.alix, README.manual-configuration). |
