IASimulator

Insured Access Simulator

This software is developed for the ongoing research on Insured Access.
All functionalities are not necessarily implemented, nor are the codes thoroughly tested.
Take full responsibility for your use of the software.

Installation

IASimulator is written in C++ and uses some functionalities of [Boost C++ Libraries][boost].
Thus, you need to install [Boost C++ Libraries][boost] before building IASimulator. [boost]: http://www.boost.org

To build IASimulator:

$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

SimulationTestbed is the binary you use to run the simulator.

Usage

To run the simulator:

$ SimulationTestbed sim_type param_filename out_filename [count]

There are three simulation types specified by the sim_type parameter.

• One-Round Simulation: Multiple runs of one-round simulation. Specify 0 for the sim_type parameter. You need to specify the number of runs for the count parameter.
• Discrete Event Simulation (Single): Single run of discrete event simulation. Specify 1 for the sim_type parameter.
• Discrete Event Simulation (Multiple): Multiple runs of discrete event simulation. Specify 2 for the sim_type parameter. You need to specify the number of runs for the count parameter.

parameters_sample.xml is provided as an example of the parameter file specified by the param_filename parameter.
