Introduction to Network Simulator NS2
TL;DR: This primer provides materials for NS2 beginners for understanding the architecture of Network Simulator 2 (NS2) and for incorporating simulation modules into NS2, including simulation-related objects, network objects, packet- related objects, and helper objects.
Optimization for Simulation: Theory vs. Practice
TL;DR: There is a disconnect between research in simulation optimization—which has addressed the stochastic nature of discrete-event simulation by concentrating on theoretical results of convergence and specialized algorithms that are mathematically elegant—and the recent software developments, which implement very general algorithms adopted from techniques in the deterministic optimization metaheuristic literature.
