Visual search modeling for end to end simulation of a cyber pysical systems

We live in a interconnected digital world. Over the past couple of decades, “the internet of the things” has permeated every aspect of modern life and its impact keeps growing in the future years. They features computational cores and all kinds of hetereogeneous sensors are all around and sense us, allowing a deeper interaction with the physical world, collecting, storing and exchanging intelligently information. These systems that link the digital (cyber) with the physical world have become known as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Visual Search (VS) is an Content Based Image Recognition (CBIR) applicationable to retrieve information of a query image comparing it against a large image database. We can consider VS as an application that can built upon a very large and distributed CPS. composed by a limitless number of interconnected mobile devices, as many as the number of image sensor available in the world, and servers in the cloud. The goal of this thesis is to build a CPS simulator for the client, the network and the server, and mapping onto it the Visual Search application. This CPS simulator need to simulate efficiently and accurretly several full operating systems as server and users coupled with a network.
