Kyriakos Ovaliadis, Nick Savage . Underwater Sensor Network Simulation Tool (USNeT). International Journal of Computer Applications. 71, 22 ( June 2013), 19-27. DOI=10.5120/12619-9243
A new Underwater Sensor Simulation Tool (USNeT) is proposed in this paper which has been designed and implementedassuming the conditions that affect underwater communication. This system provides real-time process based simulation and supports three-dimensional deployment. USNeT follows the object-oriented design style and all network entities are implemented as classes in C++ encapsulating threads mechanisms. Threads have been used because of the system need to handle multiple tasks. . Finally, the system has the functions to allow accurate visualization of the sensor nodes in a 3D manner and it presents a freely controllable camera that allows users to view the area from any angle.
