CALL FOR HACKATHON CONTRIBUTIONS
***** Hackathon Proposals - August 10, 2019 *****
=====================================================================
The OMNeT++ Community Summit is an open meeting with time and space
for tutorials, discussions, coding sessions as well as presentations
on recent developments and novel ideas in the broad area of modeling
and simulation, with a focus on the OMNeT++ simulation framework.
The OMNeT++ summit unites users, developers, and researchers to
discuss applications, developments, and ideas on the topics of
integrating simulation models, coupling different simulation tools
and providing more accurate and more efficient modeling approaches
and simulation models.
After the great success of the first hackathon in Pisa last year,
a similar hackathon will also be organized together with this year's
OMNeT++ Community Summit.
The hackathon gives developers of simulation models and simulation
frameworks the chance to consult and team-up with the OMNeT++ and
INET core developer team and fellow framework developers, in order
to improve the quality and interoperability of simulation models
and frameworks and to work on topics proposed by the developers
themselves. Participants and topics will be selected based on prior
written project proposals.
Exemplary topics for hackathon projects:
- port an existing codebase to recent versions of OMNeT++/INET
- introduce regression tests (i.e., fingerprint testing)
- add "project features" support if needed (for large projects)
- add visualization (e.g., using figures, layers, 3D visualization)
- discuss the practice of simulation result collection and analysis
- discuss interoperability and OMNeT++ development roadmaps
- include new features of INET 4.x
- hands-on problem solving (e.g., improving scalability)
- set up continuous integration (e.g., Travis)
- improve certain aspects of existing simulation models
- improve interoperability with other frameworks
