Abstract: The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has driven the emergence of highly complex, multi-layered network architectures encompassing Cloud, Edge, and Fog Computing. This Computing Continuum reduces latency and distributes computational load efficiently across the network. However, before physically deploying these costly infrastructures, researchers and engineers require robust simulation platforms to model dynamic environments and analyze key behavioral metrics (e.g., power consumption, CPU usage, and network bandwidth). The scope of this tutorial focuses on addressing the critical challenge of scalable simulation within the Computing Continuum, specifically highlighting environments that integrate mobile devices

Bio: Jesús Carretero is a Full Professor of Computer Architecture and Technology at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) in Spain, where he is responsible for that knowledge area since 2000 and is the leader of the Computer Architecture Research Group (ARCOS). My major research lines are High-Performance Computing, Large-scale distributed systems, Data-intensive computing and storage, and IoT and real-time systems. His research activity is centered on high-performance computing systems, large-scale distributed systems, data-intensive computing, IoT and real-time systems. He has been coordinator of the EuroHPC project ADMIRE and the Action Chair of the IC1305 COST Action "Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing Systems (NESUS)", and he was also the coordinator of the ADMIRE EuroHPC project. He is the director of the UC3M Scientific Computing Center (C3).
Bio: Elias Del Pozo Puñal is a post-doctoral researcher in High Performance Computing (HPC) at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). He is a member of the Computer Architecture Research Group (ARCOS) at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where he completed his PhD in 2025 with the highest distinction (cum laude). His research activity focuses mainly on High Performance Computing, computing continuum, distributed systems, file systems, Internet of Things (IoT), and simulation of edge and fog environments. This has allowed him to participate in multiple national research projects and collaborate with leading institutions in the field. As a result of his research, he has authored and co-authored more than 10 journal and conference articles, with expertise in scalable data management, distributed systems, and edge computing platforms. His work has been published in journals such as Future Generations Computer Systems and IEEE Access.
