Um método para auxílio do ensino de simulação de redes de computadores apoiado em UML

Abstract

The communication between portable devices is becoming essential in our life, offering mobility and access to services independent of where are located. The large diversity of members such as agents, routing protocols, topologies changes and measure of services of quality of network involved in this environment become the modeling of the problems in Ad Hoc networking a hard task. The simulation becomes an important task in this context, however there are difficulties as for the process to elaborate models of simulations. Software Engineering can minimize the difficulties found in the use of simulation tools. The purpose of this work is to propose an environment to assist the teaching of simulations of systems from models of networking being represented through of the modeling techniques employed in the Software Engineering. These techniques involve diagrams and extension mechanisms used in modeling tools that let a conversion the models described in UML to XMI pattern, giving a generation of a OTcl script in the syntax of the network simulator. Besides, it expects this work assists in the methodology to describe a scene to simulation of Ad Hoc networks.
