Background

Deutsche Telekom is in the process of developing a new cellular application, which enables information sharing and data collaboration amongst a community of users.

Background

The application enables a user to send a location-driven query.Using a smart selection algorithm, the query is directed to a group of users in the specified location.The members of the group may reply or discard the query, and the appropriate replies are routed back to the user.

Example

Is the mall in Azrieli Center

crowded???

IT’S SABABA!!

Motivation

In order to evaluate their new cellular application, Deutsche Telekom wishes to simulate the usage, profitability of the application, it’s spread and popularity for a customizable population and environment settings at a given time.

Problem Domain

Large number of simulated users. Different user types (groups) that behave

and use the application differently. Large number of parameters that will

define the behavior of the scenario. Variety of possible user’s statistics

collections. Enable generic algorithm swapping for all

of the configured behaviors.

Solution

Our solution is to build a generic simulator that will:

enable the user to configure a wide range of parameters and settings, thus manipulating every aspect of the scenario.

Run different scenarios, inject events and view the properties of different groups

Gather, display and compare variant statistical data.
