One commonly found drawback of simulation tools is that they provide a programming environment that does not match the one present on real-world platforms.\\ In this paper, we address this problem by presenting the steps required to port an existing software stack to a popular network simulator. This novel procedure allows for applications to run both in the simulated environment and on real-world sensor nodes without any changes to the source code. We verify our results by means of performance analyses of several simulated applications.}, day = {19}, file = {http://cst.mi.fu-berlin.de/papers/wittenburg06running.pdf}, keywords = {Wireless Sensor Networks, WSNs, Simulation, ScatterWeb, ns-2}, slides = {http://cst.mi.fu-berlin.de/papers/wittenburg06running_slides.pdf}, theme = {nsim|prog|wsn}, }
