NetDMF: A Scalable Active Data Hub for Mobile Network Modeling

Abstract

In order to develop an interoperable set of simulators, scenario generation and analysis tools, a common data model and format is needed that can describe network devices, network topology, node movement, and packet information. NetDMF provides a foundation, a common data model and format, to advance development of a flexible software environment for simulations and data analysis from experiments and emulations. NetDMF’s design and support uses a superset of the eXtensible Data Model and Format (Xdmf) originally designed for physics-based simulations.
