The conference focuses on current developments in the ns-3 network simulator, where researchers and maintainers presenting their research and extensions. At this conference, our research assistant Martin Ottens presented his work “From Simulation to Emulation: A System Design for Real-Time Replay of Simulated Network Path Characteristics”. The corresponding publication is available open access in the ACM Digital Library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3747204.3747206.

In addition to the exciting exchange with experts in the field of network simulation at the conference, Martin was able to gain exciting experiences in Osaka, for example by visiting the EXPO 2025 world exhibition.
