Capillary routing builder and ARON
calculator
Version 060314a30
The most important change of the present version of capillary builder is that the components of the main model (i.e. random-walk, capillary-building, diagram-drawing and aron-computing) are separated into independent AMPL models. The data between the components is exchanged via text, excel (xls) and access (mdb) files using AMPL’s ODBC handler [ ch | us ]. The advantage of such separation is the flexibility: for example the network built by the first phase (random-walk) can be used with another routing method, whose routing suggestions can be rated and compared with capillary routing using last phase (aron-computing).
All changes following previous version 060106ac36 [ ch | us ] are listed in a script [ txt | zip ] generated report page.

For installation of this package it is required to have the following packages: AMPL, AFPL Ghostscript (for PDF slideshow) and ImageMagick (for GIF animation). For more information on the requirements check the download pages of the previous versions [ ch | us ]. Description of the method for capillary routing building and the algorithms are available on the documentation page [ ch | us ].
Installation
instructions:
- Unzip the package
- Change the parameters of your model in the randomwalk-config.txt file (number of nodes, timeframes, random seed, etc)
- At the AMPL’s command line prompt cd to the folder of the package and type model main.txt;
- It will build the capillary routing and store the visual results in the diagram folder
- The results of the ARON rating are stored in CSV files in aron folder
This package contains also an example of a random-walk ad-hoc mobile network with 9 nodes and 300 timeframes:
