contents <pre>We provide a pre-configured disk for creating a virtual machine that encapsulates the complete execution environment required to run and evaluate Simcan2Fog. Simcan2Fog is a discrete-event platform for modelling and simulation of Fog computing environments. The platform offers detailed network models and supports the simulation of sensors, actuators, controllers, applications, and fog device interactions.<br>In addition, the simulator incorporates advanced mechanisms such as message queues, DNS resolution, and support for multiple data centers, which collectively facilitate the modelling and evaluation of microservice-based architectures.<br><br>This virtual appliance integrates all necessary components and dependencies, offering a reproducible and ready-to-use setup. Its objective is to facilitate hands-on experimentation, enabling the validation of scenarios, the analysis of results, and the support for future extensions or comparative studies, all without the need for additional installation or configuration. <br>The simulation environment is provided in the form of a disk image using the <em>qcow2</em> format, which can be executed directly using QEMU (qemu-system-x86_64 command). Alternatively, this image can be converted to other widely supported formats, such as <em>vdi</em> or <em>vmdk</em>, enabling its use with different virtualization platforms (using qemu-img convert). <br><br>PS:The secret word for starting the VM is 'S2fdemo' (without quotes).<br><br><br></pre>
