iFogSim2 (The New Version)

A Toolkit for Modeling and Simulation of Resource Management Techniques in Internet of Things, Edge and Fog Computing Environments with the following new features:

• Mobility-support and Migration Management
  • Supporting real mobility datasets
  • Implementing different random mobility models
• Microservice Orchestration
• Dynamic Distributed Clustering
• Any Combinations of Above-mentioned Features
• Full Compatibility with the Latest Version of the CloudSim (i.e., CloudSim 5) and Previous iFogSim Version and Tutorials

iFogSim2 currently encompasses several new usecases such as:

• Audio Translation Scenario
• Healthcare Scenario
• Crowd-sensing Scenario

How to run iFogSim2 ?

• Eclipse IDE:

  • Create a Java project
  • Inside the project directory, initialize an empty Git repository with the following command:

  git init
  

  • Add the Git repository of iFogSim2 as the origin remote:

  git remote add origin https://github.com/Cloudslab/iFogSim
  

  • Pull the contents of the repository to your machine:

  git pull origin main
  

  • Include the JARs to your project
  • Run the example files (e.g. TranslationServiceFog_Clustering.java, CrowdSensing_Microservices_RandomMobility_Clustering.java) to get started

• IntelliJ IDEA:

  • Clone the iFogSim2 Git repository to desired folder:

  git clone https://github.com/Cloudslab/iFogSim
  

  • Select "project from existing resources" from the "File" drop-down menu
  • Verify the Java version
  • Verify the external libraries in the "JARs" Folder are added to the project
  • Run the example files (e.g. TranslationServiceFog_Clustering.java, CrowdSensing_Microservices_RandomMobility_Clustering.java) to get started
