Abstract: Simulation of cloud computing systems remains to be a challenge due to the high number of issues that hamper this task. Basically, the main issue for achieving simulations of cloud systems is two-fold. First, the enormous amount of time required to execute those simulations. Second, the large amounts of memory required for simulating the high number of elements that constitute the model. In most cases, those systems contain thousands of computing nodes, tens of storage nodes, communication networks, and communication switches, whereof the algorithms required for modelling and simulating all those elements require huge amounts of CPU power. In this paper we present a complementation for INET, a framework used for modelling and simulating networks in cloud systems models.

Abstract: During large-scale disasters, it is often found that services that are relied for everyday communications become non-functional. This becomes a barrier and a key challenge in effective transmission of information related to the disaster through electronic media in executing relief operations. In these situations, portable devices like the smart phones come in handy and are effective in storing offline information during post disaster management operations. Effective utilization of these mobile databases through coordination will provide a platform for executing disaster relief operations. In this paper, we have proposed a scheme in which a virtual opportunistic network is formed by these mobile agents, that effectively addresses the resource management and post disaster relief operations. Through direct and indirect coordination between agents in those situations, different static nodes in an area will become aware of the geographical location of other nodes. Aggregation of such struct
