The SAFE project consists of user interfaces, description languages, and tools that will help users of varying levels of expertise to produce more credible simulation experiments with ns-3. The functionality offered will enable the user to define, deploy, and control ns-3 simulation experiments that are methodologically valid and easy to reproduce by third parties. SAFE will include tools for: model composition; structural validation of the model; configuration of model components; description, deployment, and control of experiments; output data processing and storage; and reporting of experimental setup. Although SAFE offers graphical user interfaces, more experienced users can access automation functionality via the command-line.
