Please I would like to talk with the tutor


lab_01 Lab Work 01 – FEC Simulation FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING 1 Considering that the Fog and Edge Computing (FEC) are relatively new, developing and evaluating novel FEC ideas in a simulation environment is preferred when the realistic infrastructure is not available. Researchers also opt for simulation to avoid the setup cost and the over-complicated process of setting up the dynamic infrastructure. This choice also becomes inevitable when running repeated experiments require infrastructure re-configurations multiple times. However, simulating a realistic environment is itself a complex process. In literature, several simulation frameworks are presented and utilised by researchers for demonstrating the viability of their proposed solutions. Harnessing the use of a particular simulation framework/toolkit is greatly driven by the application requirements. You are asked to conduct research on the available open-source FEC simulation tools that have been used by the FEC researchers. You are required to prepare a brief report (4-5 pages in addition to the title page and references) on your findings. Focus and provide a summary on the following aspects when you carry out literature review (only consider the article/papers that are published since 2015): - Provide a one paragraph summary of the simulator - Is the simulator an extension of existing toolkit or built from scratch? - The supported features for environment configuration - List of supported evaluation metrics - Number of studies in which the simulator appeared for evaluation purpose (also provide references to article/papers) - Experimentation scenarios or case studies mostly used for? - Code repository link (Is the project still active?) - And any other interesting aspects you want to emphasize on… Following is a list of some recently published articles that will help you get started … • Margariti, Spiridoula V. and Dimakopoulos, Vassilios V. and Tsoumanis, Georgios, Modeling and Simulation Tools for Fog Computing—A Comprehensive Survey from a Cost Perspective • Carlo Puliafito, Diogo M. Gonçalves, Márcio M. Lopes, Leonardo L. Martins, Edmundo Madeira, Enzo Mingozzi, Omer Rana, Luiz F. Bittencourt, MobFogSim: Simulation of mobility and migration for fog computing • Redowan Mahmud and Rajkumar Buyya, Modelling and Simulation of Fog and Edge Computing Environments using iFogSim Toolkit Submission After completing the report upload it as a PDF file (use the IEEE double column format) on Moodle by the deadline.
