Collaborative Simulation for Education and Research

该USC-ISI奖支持教育和研究协同模拟（CONSER）项目的工作。CONSER系统涉及发展基础设施，以达到两个目的：(a)支助拟订和评价联网协议方面的研究活动，和(b)在联网协议和联网概念领域进行教学。基于协作模拟环境，CONSER旨在帮助理解复杂操作环境、一系列交通条件和各种媒体上的协议行为。该系统将包括模拟和可视化支持，旨在帮助研究人员和学生理解，从而为研究和教学环境提供好处。基于ns和nam，这项工作预计将受到研究界和工业界的好评。

This USC-ISI award supports work on a Collaborative Simulation for Education and Research (CONSER) project. The CONSER system involves development of infrastructure that addresses two purposes: (a) support for research activities in the development and evaluation of networking protocols, and (b) teaching in the areas of networking protocols and networking concepts. Based on a collaborative simulation environment, CONSER is intended to aid understanding of protocol behavior in complex operational environments, over a range of traffic conditions, and on a variety of media. The system will involve simulation and visualization support intended to aid researcher and student understanding, thus providing benefits in both research and teaching settings. Based on ns and nam, the work is expected to be well received by the research community and industry.
