Currently, simulation-based approaches offer useful and potent tool to research community by allowing them to test their services in repeatable and controllable environment on simulated infrastructures for developing and testing adaptive application provisioning techniques [31].
In our experiments, we simulated an infrastructure-based vehicular network comprising 16 RRs.
Although mesocosm systems have limitations (e.g. [51], [52]), our experimental infrastructure simulated well several aspects of biotic and abiotic conditions in the field [44].
Then the proposed traffic and infrastructure were simulated with RTC software to test the proposed infrastructure and operational results.
Although there are other BOINC simulators, none of them allow us to simulate the complete infrastructure of BOINC.
In addition to simulations relative to staff allocation in an ED, the work further simulated a collaborating ED data infrastructure as described earlier.
In this paper, an integrated model for simulating the vehicle – infrastructure coupled interaction, is proposed.
The proposed adaptive GA is validated by simulating the Cloud infrastructure and conducting a set of performance and quality evaluation study in this environment.
To simulate the cloud infrastructure, the SimGrid toolkit was used [31].
Maps of water depth, annual flood duration, and flood frequency were created for recent historical hydrological conditions and for simulated future scenarios of water infrastructure development and climate change.
