Citations

If you are writing a paper about your experimentation done in the CyberVAN testbed environment, please cite relevant papers by the CyberVAN team. This also helps us track how CyberVAN is being used by the cyber community. Also, please keep in mind that even if a full citation may not be warranted, any use of the CyberVAN testbed and/or documentation should be acknowledged.

The primary CyberVAN paper to cite is:
