The DES-Testbed
|
The DES-Testbed (Distributed Embedded Systems) is a hybrid wireless testbed setup for long-term studies. It consists of a wireless mesh network (WMN) and a wireless sensor network (WSN). Both wireless nodes are assembled into one enclosure which we denote as DES-Node. Currently, the testbed consists of 70 wireless mesh routers equipped with three or more IEEE 802.11a/b/g network adapters and an equal number of wireless sensor nodes (MSB-A2). The research focus of our working group is on various network architectures, protocols, and applications for next generation wireless networks. The DES-Testbed provides us in the research primarily on the experimental comparison of simulations and real world implementations. The DES-Testbed allows to perform wireless network experiments using non-simplistic topologies. For this reason, frameworks dedicated to various research topics and to support the holistic experimentation process have been developed.
The DES-Testbed is an essential part of further ongoing projects such as OPNEX, WISEBED, and G-Mesh-Lab. |

uthash in Debian unstable
uthash has finally been accepted in the Debian distribution [Link]. Thus from now on, uthash will not be any more available from our site as you can either download the upstream version from SourceForge [Link] or rebuild the Debian package for your distribution of choice. Please note that the package in unstable should work in any Debian/Ubuntu/etc installation as it contains only headers.
Currently, packages.debian.org seems to not be able to find the uthash-dev package. Nevertheless, it is included in the pool and can be downloaded!

libdessert 0.87
The Debian release ready version of libdessert is now available. We hope this version will be accepted to be included in the official repositories. Several functions that have previously been implemented by each routing daemon are now available in the library.
