Cloudsim Project to Release CloudSim Toolkit 4.0
The Cloudbus Project at The University of Melbourne, Australia is proud to announce the
release of the new version of its Cloud simulation software, the CloudSim.

Four years has passed since last major version of CloudSim was released. Cloud computing now is
mainstream, and has been heavily adopted by different industries. It is also omnipresent in
conferences and journals from diverse fields such as high performance computing, grid computing,
distributed systems, operating systems, software engineering, databases and so on. CloudSim has
been present in publications in all the above fields.
To help in further developments in the field of Cloud computing regardless the main area of
application, new features and improvements were added to CloudSim 3.0. Having the project
hosted in Google code allowed us to have an enhanced feedback from users, via issue tracking
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.
been present in publications in all the above fields. New applications of Cloud computing are emerging
such as Internet of Things and Big Data, and new technologies are being incorporated to the fabric
of Cloud data centers such as Container virtualization. This version of CloudSim acknowledges these
advances by adding support for virtualization of Container as a Service features, and also solves
many bugs identified along the years.
We encourage the community to keep collaborating with us by notifying us about any identified
bugs, providing feedback on new features you would like to have in future versions of the toolkit,
