About MeloniZippoProjects/ControlTower
ControlTower is a group project that simulates and analyzes an airport system using a combination of analytical and computational methods. The project was created as part of a Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems and Networks course, with the goal of studying airport operations through both queueing theory and discrete-event simulation.
The simulation is built using the OMNeT++ framework and models key characteristics of an airport system. To process the results, the team developed a pipeline that converts simulation outputs using gawk scripts into MATLAB-compatible files, which are then analyzed and visualized in MATLAB to generate performance graphs. PowerShell scripts automate the entire workflow of configuration, simulation execution, and data conversion, allowing for efficient batch processing of different scenarios.
The project demonstrates a practical application of performance evaluation techniques, combining simulation tools with statistical analysis to study system behavior. It showcases a complete workflow from model design through implementation to results analysis, with particular attention to automating the experimental process across multiple software platforms.
