Title
Simulation tools for cloud computing: A survey and comparative study
Abstract
Today, cloud computing has become a promising paradigm that aims at delivering computing resources and services on demand. The adoption of these services has been rapidly increasing. One of the main issues in this context is how to evaluate the ability of cloud systems to provide the desired services while respecting the QoS constraints. Experimentation in a real environment is a hard problem. In fact, the financial cost and the time required are very high. Also, the experiments are not repeatable, because a number of variables that are not under control of the tester may affect experimental results. Therefore, using simulation frameworks to evaluate cloud applications is preferred. This paper presents a survey of the existing simulation tools in cloud computing. It provides also a critical and comparative analysis of the studied tools. Finally, it stands out a major challenge to be addressed for further research.
