Management of Ubiquitous Systems with a Mobile Application Using Discrete Event Simulations

Abstract

Discrete-event simulation plays an increasingly important role in the management of ubiquitous systems. This working progress proposes a cross-platform mobile application dedicated to the management of ubiquitous systems using discrete-event simulation. The mobile application aims to perform the simulation of models specified with discrete-event system specifications (DEVS). Web services are invoked by the mobile application in a generic way in order to load, set and simulate models defined using the DEVSimPy software and stored on a web server. The propose approach has been validated on an ubiquitous system defined from an interconnection of physical computing platforms including microcontrollers, switches and sensors.
