Abstract
Simulation tools are essential to evaluate cloud computing services and applications. This chapter surveys the various simulation platforms and tools of cloud computing through a literature review and classification of journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports. The review and discussion on the cloud computing simulation tools also provides insights on modeling and evaluation of cloud computing services and applications. Various cloud computing simulation tools are reviewed and characteristics of the tools are identified. Finally, the chapter notes the challenges and the future research for next-generation cloud computing simulation tools to obtain more accurate results and keep in pace with the advance of technologies.
