Abstract
Researchers performing simulations in the field of computer telecommunications are often faced with the time-consuming task of converting huge quantities of data to and from different formats. We examine some of the requirements of the telecommunications simulation community and propose an architecture for a general purpose archiver and converter for big quantities of simulation data to be released as free software.
This work was funded by the European Commission under the COST 285 Action, by the CNR/MIUR program “Legge 449/97” (project IS-Manet) and by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology of the Republic of Slovenia (program P2-0246).
