The paper "Advancements and Challenges in IoT Simulators: A Comprehensive Review" by Reham Almutairi, Giacomo Bergami, and Graham Morgan provides an in-depth analysis of existing and emerging IoT simulators, focusing on their capabilities, real-world applications, and the current challenges in the field. The authors highlight the need for a comprehensive and versatile simulator that can handle complex, large-scale IoT scenarios and meet specific developmental requirements, such as device mobility, energy models, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and scalability. They also discuss the lack of literature on IoT simulators supporting renewable energy sources and their integration with Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) simulations. The review identifies several gaps in the current literature, including the absence of a generic simulator capable of simulating various scenarios across different IoT applications, the need for addressing security concerns like battery depletion attacks, and the lack of integration with traffic simulation for VANET environments. The paper emphasizes the importance of developing more advanced and adaptable IoT simulation tools to meet the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in the IoT domain.The paper "Advancements and Challenges in IoT Simulators: A Comprehensive Review" by Reham Almutairi, Giacomo Bergami, and Graham Morgan provides an in-depth analysis of existing and emerging IoT simulators, focusing on their capabilities, real-world applications, and the current challenges in the field.
