Abstract
Recently, machine-to-machine (M2M) systems provide services in a variety of
application domains, such as smart home, surveillance, remote control, healthcare,
consumer devices, etc. The architecture of an M2M system is usually composed
of different types of hardware components interconnected with a network. The
performance of an M2M system is a critical factor, especially for those applications
which have real-time requirements. For some M2M systems which are powered
by batteries, energy consumption is also a concern. However, the complexity of
setting up a development and performance evaluation environment for an M2M
system is quite challenging to the developersss.
In this thesis, we propose to evaluate the performance of an M2M system by
running the M2M software over the virtual machines which collectively simulate
the M2M system. The virtual machines are connected with our virtual network
devices (VND) which model the network in the M2M system. This approach al-
lows the developer to deploy unmodified software onto the simulation environment
and use our tools to analyze the execution time, energy consumption, and network
transactions on each virtual machinesss.
