Cooja Simulator Manual (2016)
Report
Thomson, C., Romdhani, I., Al-Dubai, A., Qasem, M., Ghaleb, B., & Wadhaj, I. (2016). Cooja Simulator Manual. Edinburgh: Edinburgh Napier University

While Cooja has been proven to be an ideal tool for the simulation of RPL in WSNs, there are challenges involved in its use, particularly in regard to a lack of documentation. The Contiki website provides an image of Instant Contiki which can then be... Read More about Cooja Simulator Manual.
