MASIMUM stands for MANET Simulation and Implementation at the University of Murcia. This site is intended to provide software and documentation related to the deployment and simulation of ad hoc and sensor networks.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of a group of nodes, usually equipped with wireless interfaces, which are free to move and able to communicate one with each other among multihop paths when a direct link is not available.

Sensor networks are also ad hoc networks, but here the key challenges come from the restricted capabilities associated to small sensors (i.e., low battery charge, low computational power, etc).

The challenges offered by these networks have attracted the attention of the research community during the last years. Thus, with this website we want to create a common place where MANET-related work can be hosted on. Here you will find software and documentation mainly developed by members of the ANTS working group of the Department of Information and Communications Engineering of the University of Murcia (Spain).
