Title | A SimPy-based Simulation Testbed for Smart-city IoT Applications |

Abstract | A real-time testbed that emulates a large number of IoT end-points generating traffic to the middleware/application layers can be used for debugging and performance evaluation of the smart-city software platforms prior to deployment. We propose an architecture for such a simulation testbed based on Python's SimPy library. The simulated IoT end-points communicate with the middleware in real-time and can also interact directly with each other and with a common shared environment. This makes the testbed particularly suited for modeling system-wide scenarios such as synchronized faults and power outages. |
