Abstract
To facilitate the modeling of various systems with the DLOC model and evaluate different control protocols, a new software tool is developed and actively evolving. This chapter introduces the TIE/DLOC tool developed for the research reported here. Software components are compared with previous TIE tools, and their functionalities are explained. When the tool receives the structures of a client network (G), a service team (R), and a set of control protocols, it simulates the e-Work performance in the network-to-network (N2N) service representation under DLOC model, and statistical results are produced. The TIE/DLOC tool has been used to simulate various systems studied in this research. Experiments and results are illustrated in the next chapter. TIE/DLOC has been hosted on GitHub as an open source project sponsored by the PRISM Center. The repository is located at https://github.com/zhong11hao/tiedloc.
