A large-scale study of the impact of node behavior on loosely coupled data dissemination: The case of the Distributed Arctic Observatory

Requirements

• Boost dev libs must be available on the system (required by SimGrid)
• From the project root folder:

  cd ./libs && ./setup.sh && cd - make

• This should (please monitor the console for potential missing dependencies) install SimGrid and RapidJSON. If the simulator and scenarios executables are available, then everything is ready to launch experiments.

Simulations from the paper

• To run a particular experiment, use one of the run_*.sh scripts
• For each scripts, results are generated in the results/ folder

Notes

• The inputs.json file controls the inputs to the simulator. This file can be generated with the scenarios executable.
• To run a simulation using your own inputs.json just use > make run This will also generate a file called platform.xml corresponding to the platform simulated in SimGrid and results will be printed in stderr.
• To generate a csv output from the simulation results you can use the awk parser in the following way:

  make run 2>&1|./parser.awk

• The dataset containing the results used in the paper can be downloaded here
