Description

RMSim-WSN (Trust and Reputation Models Simulator for Wireless Sensor Networks) is a Java-based simulator aimed to test Trust and Reputation models for WSNs.

It allows researchers to test and compare their trust and reputation models against a wide range of WSNs. They can decide whether they want static or dynamic networks, the percentage of fraudulent nodes, the percentage of nodes acting as clients or servers, etc.

It has been designed to easily adapt and integrate a new model within the simulator. Only a few classes have to be implementend in order to carry out this task.

Download

This simulator has been developed under jdk 1.6.

The full source code can be downloaded from its sourceforge project page.

New Trust and Reputation Model

In order to add a new Trust and Reputation Model, called TemplateTRM, into TRMSim you need to follow the next steps:

1. Create a folder inside trmodels folder named templatetrm
2. Create a parameters file inside folder templatetrm, called TemplateTRMparameters.txt
3. Create a package called es.ants.felixgm.trmsim_wsn.trm.templatetrm (from now on, ‘subpackage templatetrm’)
4. Create a subclass of class TRMParameters called TemplateTRM_Parameters in the subpackage templatetrm
5. Within the package es.ants.felixgm.trmsim_wsn.gui.parameterpanels create a subclass of class TRMParametersPanel called TemplateTRM_ParametersPanel
6. Create a subclass of class Sensor called TemplateTRM_Sensor in the subpackage templatetrm
7. Create a subclass of class Network called TemplateTRM_Network in the subpackage templatetrm
8. Create a subclass of class TRModel_WSN called TemplateTRM in the subpackage templatetrm (it is important that both the model and the package have the same name, ignoring upper and lowercase letters, in order to be automatically detectable by the simulator)
9. Place all the newly created classes in the folder src/es/ants/felixgm/trmsim_wsn/trm/templatetrm and the simulator will recognize the new model automatically and incorporate it in the forthcoming executions
