We found a mean field convergence result that explains fluid limits and gives a fast simulation method for a system of interacting objects.

(With Milan Vojnovic and Thomas T. Karagiannis). We show that the distribution of intercontact times on all traces we could obtain shows a dichotomy: power law decay up to a time of the order of the mean of the distribution, then exponential decay. (Mobicom 2007 pdf ).
The random trip model is a generic mobility model that generalizes random waypoint and random walk to realistic scenarios. It is implemented in ns2 and can be used without license. The implementation performs perfect initialization, i.e. the mobility model has no transient phase (with Milan Vojnovic and Santashil PalChaudhuri). The analysis of the random trip model allowed us to solve outstanding issues that arose when simulating the random waypoint.
