Hi Diogo, I am using your interesting simulator in my research project to simulate some vehicles offloading their processing tasks to fog nodes. My question is that do I have to consider sensors and actuators when I create a smart thing as a vehicle? Or I can simply remove the following lines from my source code: st.setSensors(sensors); st.setActuators(actuators);

Thank you and looking forward to your response.

Hi Zeinab,

Thanks for using my simulator.

The sensors and actuators entities are not strictly necessary in the simulator. However, these entities are the interface in which the IoT devices, e.g., vehicles, interact with applications in the cloud/fog infrastructure.

In case you want to create iot devices that just move through the map, feel free to create them without sensors and actuactores. In case you want them to beconnected to applications on fog, you need to create them.

Let me know if I can help you. Best regards

Hi Diogo, Thank you for your response. I want to place some services on the fog nodes that will be run for the vehicles as augmented reality services. So the vehicles are going to communicate with the placed services on fog nodes. In that case do I need the sensors and actuators? I have some other questions as follows that I would be grateful if you can help me with them. How can I know the measurement units of simulator parameters such as uplinkBandwidth, downlinkBandwidth, uplinkLatency, and mipsPer? Could you please let me know what are the mean of uplinkLatency and ratepermips for a fog device?
