在移动的ad-hoc网络领域的研究人员面临的挑战之一是估计的数学模型的有效性。由于网络模型的复杂性非常高，包括大量的节点以任意速度移动，使用离散事件系统模拟已成为主要工具来计算开发的模型相比，在目标区域的最先进的解决方案的指标。NS-3是离散事件模拟器中的一种，被研究人员广泛使用。大多数论文忽略了实验环境的技术细节，使得结果的再现成为一项困难的任务。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于现代技术的软件体系结构，其目的是创建可重复的和易于扩展的计算环境，使用NS-3运行，管理和收集多仿真实验的结果。我们分解这个任务，并观察不同的工具和方法，可以用作这样的系统的一部分。建议的系统可以是有用的驱动实验在广泛的研究领域，从评估软件定义的无线电模型的ad-hoc网络路由协议。
One of the challenges facing the researcher in the field of mobile ad-hoc networks is estimation of the mathematical models effectiveness. Due to very high complexity of network models consisted of large numbers of nodes moving with arbitrary speed, simulating using discrete-event systems has become the main tool to calculate the metrics of the developed models compared with the state of art solutions in the target area. NS-3 is one of the discrete-event simulators, widely used by researchers. Most papers omit technical details of experiment environment, making reproducing of results a difficult task. In this paper we propose a software architecture based on modern technologies that aims the goal of creating reproducible and easy scalable computing environment to run, manage and collect results of multi-simulation experiments using NS-3. We decompose this task and observe different tools and approaches that can be used as part of such system. Proposed system can be useful for driving experiments in wide range of research areas from evaluating of software defined radio models to ad-hoc networks routing protocols.
