Cloud computing simulation

Supervised by M.Stannett

Abstract

To date, Cloud computing simulation technology is popular around the world. In order to implement and test Cloud system without limitation from commercial software. This project focus on creating a user-friendly cloud simulation based on multi-agent system. Through analysing previous researches and current simulation achievements, system architecture and simulation models have been regarded as two significant component of cloud computing simulator. It is not easy to simulate cloud computing service with big data, but it is possible to modelling a light cloud system based on agent communication. Meanwhile, a simulated data centre model with network flow is becoming one considerable approach of this project.
