In this chapter we introduce the simulation environment, which will be used to apply the proposed nonlinear control methodologies in this thesis. A simulation environment is vital to evaluate, validate and compare the various existing control methodologies with the proposed technique in a controlled environment. This is because a multi-client class system deployed in physical resources (in other words a case study or test bed) provides variable performance even under same settings / inputs in the multiple runs. A known limitation of simulation environments is it abstracts away some of the behavior from the analysis to trade o ff between the consistency. Therefore, the validation of this thesis utilizes the strengths of both the simulation and case study based evaluations. In following sections, we provide a description of characteristics and the process of multi-client class system followed by the architecture and implementation details of the simulation environment.
