and group discussion. Based on this feedback, we could identify bugs, concepts that where being
misinterpreted by users and features of little significance and complexity. In response to this
feedback, we fixed all the identified bugs, clarified confusing aspects of the tool, and removed
features that were proven to be unpopular with users and just were making the APIs confusing.
This version of CloudSim brings enhanced modelling of power-aware and energy efficient Cloud
computing, and also a new package allowing modelling of internal data center topologies and
message-passing applications.
