CRAWDAD is the Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At Dartmouth, a wireless network data resource for the research community. This archive has the capacity to store wireless trace data from many contributing locations, and staff to develop better tools for collecting, anonymizing, and analyzing the data. We work with community leaders to ensure that the archive meets the needs of the research community.

Please join us, either by contributing data, downloading data or tools, joining our mailing lists, or attending one of our workshops. Take a look at the world map of CRAWDAD users.

CRAWDAD is sponsored by the National Science Foundation under award number 0454062.

CiteULike for CRAWDAD bibliography [June 30, 2008]

We have started to use CiteULike ( http://www.citeulike.org ), a free bibliography service, to encourage users to easily share CRAWDAD-related papers with others.

You can see all the papers that use CRAWDAD data and tools at http://www.citeulike.org/group/5303/library . They are tagged with "crawdad". If you want to find only the papers that use a specific data set, e.g., dartmouth/campus, then you can browse them through the "dartmouth_campus" tag.  You can also add your papers to the collection - please do!

New data set added [June 27, 2008]

We have added the following data set to the CRAWDAD archive:


The data set was used for the following paper:
Timothy Ireland, Adam Nyzio, Michael Zink, and Jim Kurose. The impact of directional antenna orientation, spacing, and channel separation on long-distance multi-hop 802.11g networks: A measurement study. Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee 2007), Limassol, Cyprus, Cyprus, April 2007.

New tool added [June 2, 2008]

We have added a wireless trace analysis tool, called Wifidelity, to the CRAWDAD archive as follows:


This tool is described in the following paper:
Aaron Schulman, Dave Levin, and Neil Spring. On the fidelity of 802.11 packet traces. PAM 2008, 9th Passive and Active Measurement conference, pages 132-141, Cleveland, Ohio, April 2008.
