This course focuses on computational simulation techniques within the field of edge computing research. Edge computing is a crucial area in next-generation computing systems, enabling low-latency processing closer to data sources, a shift from traditional cloud computing. The field involves complex interactions between software and hardware components distributed across networks, creating diverse research opportunities. Simulation is a primary research methodology in edge computing, offering a cost-effective way to evaluate performance, test new algorithms, and understand intricate system dynamics. This course provides an introduction to the architecture and applications of edge computing, emphasizing the role of simulation, particularly Discrete Event Simulation (DES). Participants will gain an overview of prominent edge computing simulators, including EdgeCloudSim, iFogSim, and YAFS. The course involves practical experimentation using EdgeCloudSim, allowing students to design, implement, and analyze simulations to address real-world edge computing challenges. Upon completion, students will have a solid understanding of edge computing systems and research methodologies, with the ability to leverage simulation tools for their own research.
