Documentation
In the SIM.WoT > About section there is a description of the internal architecture of the
Event-Driven Simulator fot WoT, including its sub-systems and components. Additionally, the
Research menu list the journal's articules and conference papers related to both the SIM.WoT
and IR.WoT projects.
Settings
General settings are provided on the Simulator home page, and specific setting menu is
available for tuning the simulation parameters. vThings and vSensors are implemented under a
XML-based description model, plus Markovian chains to simulate their behaviours: mobility,
connectivity, measurement and failure.
Reporting
The Execute Simulation button deploy the dashboard built by the reporting and sub-system, so
metrics and stats are tracked and automatically visualised, measuring the WoT dynamics.
Dynamics is presented in terms of size of the simulated WoT, then size of the the Synthetic
XML Collection and the changes|events per level/time.
WoT Search Engine
IR.WoT is a Information Retrieval system for the Web of Things in the form of a WoTSE Search
Engine. SIM.WoT and IR.WoT are interrelated via a RESTFul API and a scalable Cloud-based
Document-Oriented storage system. In that way, IR.WoT can be fed by the simulated, dynamic
and synthetic IR Test Collection.
