This paper presents SPLAY, an integrated system that facilitates the design, deployment and
testing of largescale distributed applications. Unlike existing systems, SPLAY covers all …

The performance and behavior of large-scale distributed applications is highly influenced by
network properties such as latency, bandwidth, packet loss, and jitter. For instance, an …

In this paper we propose a new simulation platform called SIMCAN, for analyzing parallel
and distributed systems. This platform is aimed to test parallel and distributed architectures …

Between simulation and experiments on real-scale testbeds, the combined use of emulation
and virtualization provide a useful alternative for performing experiments on distributed …

The performance and behavior of distributed systems is highly influenced by network
properties, ie latency, bandwidth, packet loss, and jitter. When developing a distributed …

Blockchain, like any other complex technology, needs a strong testing methodology to
support its evolution in both research and development contexts. Setting up meaningful tests …

Blockchain, like any other technology, needs a strong testing methodology to support its
evolution. Setting up meaningful blockchain tests is a notoriously complex task for several …

Network emulation allows researchers to test distributed applications on diverse topologies
with fine control over key properties such as delays, bandwidth, congestion, or packet loss …

BitTorrent is probably the most popular file sharing protocol nowadays. Since it is a complex
protocol which was created mostly as an engineering effort, there have been attempts to …

BitTorrent (BT) is currently the main P2P protocol used for sharing large files over the
Internet. It is therefore important to understand the performance characteristics of existing …
