Abstract
Research and experimentation on live hyperscale clouds is limited by their scale, complexity, value and and issues of commercial sensitivity. As a result, there has been an increase in the development, adaptation and extension of cloud simulation platforms for cloud computing to enable enterprises, application developers and researchers to undertake both testing and experimentation. While there have been numerous surveys of cloud simulation platforms and their features, few surveys examine how these cloud simulation platforms are being used for research purposes. This paper provides a preliminary systematic review of literature on this topic covering 256 papers from 2009 to 2016. The paper aims to provide insights into the current status of cloud computing research using open source cloud simulation platforms. Our two-level analysis scheme includes a descriptive and synthetic analysis against a highly cited taxonomy of cloud computing. The analysis uncovers some imbalances in research and the need for a more granular and refined taxonomy against which to classify cloud computing research using simulators. The paper can be used to guide literature reviews in the area and identifies potential research opportunities for cloud computing and simulation researchers, complementing extant surveys on cloud simulation platforms.
