The fundamental idea is to change the individual behavior of each vehicle by exchanging information among traffic participants to realize a cooperative and more efficient ransportation system. Certainly, the evaluation of such systems is a comprehensive and challenging task in a real world test bed, therefore, simulation frameworks are a key tool to analyze IVC. Several models are needed to emulate the real behavior of a VANET in all aspects as much realistically as necessary. The intention of this survey is to provide a comprehensive overview of publications concerning IVC simulations of the year 2013 and to see how IVC simulation has changed since 2009. Based on this analysis, we will answer the following questions: What simulation techniques are applied to IVC? Which aspects of IVS have been evaluated? What has changed within five years of IVC simulations? We also take a closer look at commonly used software tools and discuss their functionality and drawbacks. Finally, we present open questions concerning IVC simulations.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ThelenVolbertNunes, author = {Thelen, Simon and Volbert, Klaus and Nunes, Danilo Weber}, title = {A Survey on Algorithmic Problems in Wireless Systems}, series = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Sensor Networks (SENSORNETS), Vol 1, Feb 23, 2023 - Feb 24, 2023, Lisbon, Portugal}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Sensor Networks (SENSORNETS), Vol 1, Feb 23, 2023 - Feb 24, 2023, Lisbon, Portugal}, publisher = {SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications}, isbn = {978-989-758-635-4}, doi = {10.5220/0011791200003399}, pages = {101 -- 111}, abstract = {Considering the ongoing growth of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and the challenges they pose due to their hardware limitations as well as the intrinsic complexity of their interactions, specialized algorithms have the potential to help solving these challenges. We present a survey on recent developments regarding algorithmic problems which have applications in wireless systems and WSNs in particular. Focusing on the intersection between WSNs and algorithms, we give an overview of recent results inside this intersection, concerning topics such as routing, interference minimization, latency reduction, localization among others. Progress on solving these problems could be potentially beneficial for the industry as a whole by increasing network throughput, reducing latency or making systems more energy-efficient. We summarize and structure these recent developments and list interesting open problems to be investigated in future works.}, language = {en} }
