Dear Professor Evans:
It is very nice to write to you. I am a PhD student in Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recently I have read your paper “localization for mobile sensor networks”. Excellent work has been done by your teams. Since localization is also my research area, I hope that you can give a help and send me the simulator and data. I think that will help me greatly. Thank you so much.
Your sincerely
