iFogSim2 (The New Version)

A Toolkit for Modeling and Simulation of Resource Management Techniques in Internet of Things, Edge and Fog Computing Environments with the following new features:

Mobility-support and Migration Management
- Supporting real mobility datasets
- Implementing different random mobility models
Microservice Orchestration
Dynamic Distributed Clustering
Any Combinations of Above-mentioned Features
Full Compatibility with the Latest Version of the CloudSim (i.e., CloudSim 5) and Previous iFogSim Version and Tutorials

iFogSim2 currently encompasses several new usecases such as:

Audio Translation Scenario
Healthcare Scenario
Crowd-sensing Scenario

How to run iFogSim2 ?

Eclipse IDE:
- Create a Java project
- Inside the project directory, initialize an empty Git repository with the following command:
```
git init
```
- Add the Git repository of iFogSim2 as the origin remote:
```
git remote add origin https://github.com/Cloudslab/iFogSim
```
- Pull the contents of the repository to your machine:
```
git pull origin main
```
- Include the JARs to your project
- Run the example files (e.g. TranslationServiceFog_Clustering.java, CrowdSensing_Microservices_RandomMobility_Clustering.java) to get started
IntelliJ IDEA:
- Clone the iFogSim2 Git repository to desired folder:
```
git clone https://github.com/Cloudslab/iFogSim
```
- Select “project from existing resources” from the “File” drop-down menu
- Verify the Java version
- Verify the external libraries in the “JARs” Folder are added to the project
- Run the example files (e.g. TranslationServiceFog_Clustering.java, CrowdSensing_Microservices_RandomMobility_Clustering.java) to get started
