Abstract
A new network simulator, called SENSE, has been developed for simulating wireless sensor networks. The primary design goal is to address such factors as extensibility, reusability, and scalability, and to take into account the needs of different users. The recent progresses in component-based simulation, namely the component-port model and the simulation component classification, provided a sound theoretical foundation for the simulator. Practical issues, such as efficient memory usage, sensor network specific models, were also considered. Consequently, SENSE becomes an ease-of-use and efficient simulator for sensor network research.
