Editing Wireless sensor network (section)

==Simulation==
At present, agent-based modeling and simulation is the only paradigm which allows the [[computer simulation|simulation]] of [[complex behavior]] in the environments of wireless sensors (such as [[flocking]]).<ref name="Paper">{{cite journal | last1 = Niazi | first1 = Muaz | last2 = Hussain | first2 = Amir | year = 2011 | title = A Novel Agent-Based Simulation Framework for Sensing in Complex Adaptive Environments | url = http://cs.stir.ac.uk/~man/papers/Accepted_IEEESensorsAug2010.pdf | journal = IEEE Sensors Journal | volume = 11 | issue = 2 | pages = 404–412 | doi = 10.1109/jsen.2010.2068044  | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110725023733/http://cs.stir.ac.uk/~man/papers/Accepted_IEEESensorsAug2010.pdf | archive-date = 2011-07-25 | arxiv = 1708.05875 | bibcode = 2011ISenJ..11..404N | hdl = 1893/3398 | s2cid = 15367419 }}</ref> Agent-based simulation of wireless sensor and ad hoc networks is a relatively new paradigm. [[Agent-based model]]ling was originally based on social simulation.

[[Network simulator]]s like Opnet, Tetcos NetSim and NS can be used to simulate a wireless sensor network.
