# 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](https://zenodo.org/records/16282495). |
|
|
- **Code:** Available on [Github repository](https://github.com/UlyssesDeAguilar/Simcan2Fog) |
