  4. Abstract:
  5. Modeling IoT applications in distributed computing systems as workflows enables automating their procedure. There are different types of workflow-based applications in the literature. Executing IoT applications using device-to-device (D2D) communications in distributed computing systems especially edge paradigms requiring direct communication between devices in a network with a graph topology. This paper introduces a toolkit for simulating resource management of scientific workflows with different structures in distributed environments with graph topology called WIDESim. The proposed simulator enables dynamic resource management and scheduling. We have validated the performance of WIDESim in comparison to standard simulators, also evaluated its performance in real-world scenarios of distributed computing. The results indicate that WIDESim’s performance is close to existing standard simulators besides its improvements. Additionally, the findings demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the extended features incorporated within WIDESim. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2024
