Simcan2Fog: Fog Computing Simulation Framework
Official repository for the paper: "Simcan2Fog: A discrete-event platform for the modelling and simulation of Fog computing environments" published in SoftwareX (2025).
💡 Overview
Simcan2Fog is an open-source framework built on OMNeT++ 6.3.0 and INET 4.5.4. It provides a high-level abstraction for simulating complex hierarchical architectures, focusing on:
- Multi-tier offloading policies.
- Service discovery (DNS-based).
- SLA and Energy efficiency management.
🚀 Key Features
- Hierarchical Node Management: Flexible fog node deployment across multiple layers.
- Advanced Networking: Full stack support via INET, including TCP/UDP and Pub/Sub (MQTT/RabbitMQ style).
- Reproduction: Fully compatible with the Zenodo Artifact.
- Code: Available on Github repository
