-[IoD_Sim](https://telematics.poliba.it/iod-sim) is an open source and
-system-level simulator for the IoD ([Internet of
-Drones](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7423671)).
-
-Developed on top of the well-known [ns-3](https://www.nsnam.org/) (Network
-Simulator 3), it implements the key networking elements (drones, network access
-points, and Zone Service Provider), a standard-compliant communication stack
-based on the IEEE 802.11 technology, and scenarios with various mobility
-models.
-
-The source code presents the implementation of models and examples scripts,
-also known as _scenarios_, that use such models to simulate a variable number
-of drones that:
-
-- Move according to the mobility model associated to the reference scenario.
-- Exchange messages with network access points deployed on a generic and flat
-  3D space.
-
-The IoD_Sim repository is where this
-software is developed and there are many ways in which you can participate in
-the project, for example:
-
-- [Submit bugs and feature requests](issues) and help us verify as they are
-  checked in.
-- Review [source code changes](pulls).
-- Review the [documentation](doc) and make pull requests for anything, from
-  typos to new content.
-
-IoD_Sim is primarily compatible with **Linux**-based operating systems. You can
-test it on macOS, altough we are not focused on providing first-class support
-for it. For macOS, Windows, or any other operating system, you are encouraged
-to use [Docker](https://www.docker.com/),
-[WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about) or any other
-(pseudo)virtualization platform that can provide you a stable Linux-based work
-environment. You are welcome to provide new compatibility solutions any time.
-
-For more details, a dedicated publication that describes the entire simulation platform is available on [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.13710).
-
-Want to build scenarios through a GUI? [Airflow](https://github.com/GiovanniGrieco/IoD_Sim-airflow) is a Visual Programming Editor ad-hoc for IoD_Sim! It relies on [splash](https://github.com/GiovanniGrieco/IoD_Sim-splash) to transpile C++ models in Python visual blocks.
-
-## Getting Started
-
-The following quick start has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Please note that this process may be similar in other distros as well. In case of any difficulties, you are welcome to raise a pull request and propose some adjustments.
-
-First of all, clone this repository, then open the folder with VSCode and execute the following tasks:
-
-1. Install dependencies,
-2. Integrate IoD Sim with ns3
-3. Configure IoD Sim
-4. Build IoD Sim
-
-Otherwise, run the following commands:
-
-```
-./tools/install-dependencies.sh
-./tools/prepare-ns3.sh
-cd ns3/
-./ns3 configure --build-profile=debug --enable-examples --disable-mpi --disable-python --enable-modules=iodsim
-./ns3 build
-```
-
-To run a JSON scenario configuration, execute the following command:
-
-```
-cd ns3/
-./ns3 run "iodsim --config=../scenario/simple_wifi.json"
-```
