Abstract

Simulators for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the most important tools for systems development. They enable to study and evaluate new theories and hypotheses for sensors data gathering, testing new applications and protocols. Nowadays, there are a large number of open source WSN simulators and they can be divided into different categories according to their features and main applications. Due to the ability to increase the real WSN prototyping, the Cross Levels Simulator, like Cooja, has become an important class of simulators. Although they are open source, flexible and extensible in all levels, the test interface, the external connection at a physical level and the direct interaction with the process control via the WSN is very poor. In this work we present the Cooja Advanced Sky Interface which is an extension of the Contiki's Cooja network simulator for the Sky mote. Due to the absence of the analog output control in the Contiki OS for the Sky mote, as additional contribution, the Contiki Sky DAC driver has been developed and tested in the Cooja Simulator with the Advanced Sky GUI and GISOO plugin to give the ability to implement control over the wireless sensor network.
