Call for proposals

Are you interested in some functionality missing in the latest PlanetSim release? You can send us to planetsim-helparroba.giflists.sourceforge.net your needs and we will study your requests and put them in our Ticket system to be implemented in next releases.

Maybe you have already implemented some extra functionality. Yes? Oh, you can send us your work and we will put your work in our site and put your name as a PlanetSim collaborator! Isn't it interesting? See more details here.

Or maybe you want to help to this project. Is this your case? Send us an email and join to this group. See more details here.

Call for references

Do you know some PlanetSim reference in any technical paper where it discusses about PlanetSim or it employs PlanetSim to get some simulation/experimental results? Please, send us by email the complete reference or the URL where it appears to planetsim-helparroba.giflists.sourceforge.net. We believe that to register technical paper references are a good way to show and measure the PlanetSim use impact into the reseach community.

Help us to maintain this list up-to-date! Thank you very much!

Download

You can download the latest stable version from SF.net or the latest version (may be unstable) from our subversion.

You can also download older versions from here (but it is not recommended).

Distribution: Source and binary code, written and compiled in Java v1.4.2.
License: PlanetSim is available under a LGPL license.

Using subversion

A great subversion tutorial. With it, we can learn how to use the trunk, tags and branches directories.

Don't forget that you need to use the username and password anonymous.

To get the latest source from *nix systems: 

user@host:~$ svn co http://planet.urv.es/svn/planetsim/trunk local_directory
Authentication realm: <http://planet.urv.es:80> Subversion repository
Password for 'user': {leave empty, here only press the ENTER key}
Authentication realm: <http://planet.urv.es:80> Subversion repository
Username: anonymous
Password for 'anonymous': {here introduce again anonymous}

Or, for Windows platforms, install the free SVNTortoise and follow these steps: 

1. Create a directory on your file system, namely C:\planetsim.
2. Click over this directory with the right button of the mouse and select the option 'SVN Checkout...'.
3. Type http://planet.urv.es/svn/planetsim/trunk as 'URL of repository' and click 'Ok'.
4. Type username and password 'anonymous' (without inverted commas).
5. After a long process, you will have the last version.

Installation

System requirements:

  1. Java 1.4 or higher
  2. Ant utility

Its installation is ready with three steps:

  1. Download the distribution into your pc
  2. Unzip the distribution
  3. Run your desired test

To run any test, you only have to open a shell onto PLANETSIM/bin directory and execute any of the scripts (available for Windows and *nix systems).

SF.net and Mailing Lists

We employ this Trac to support the PlanetSim development, and we leave active the PlanetSim project in the public SF.net directory.

This project has two mailing lists hosted by SF.net here and they are the followings:

  • planetsim-devel - direct registering page. If you are a PlanetSim developer and need some help for your work, please search your answer or make your questions here.
  • planetsim-help - direct registering page. If you have some general questions about PlanetSim, this is your mailing list. We can help you to understand or answer your doubts and questions.

Otherwise, if you have not found your answer or your question is not related to the above mailing lists, send us an email to Jordi Pujol <jordi.pujolarroba.gifurv.cat>.

Learn more

To learn more about PlanetSim, you can start from PlanetSim (wiki), our tutorials (wiki), the Javadoc API, this Developer and User Guide (PDF), this Behaviors tutorial (PDF) -it is another easy way to implement overlay protocols- or some slices (PPT format or PDF format).

Enjoy!
