+SimGrid~\cite{SimGrid,casanova+legrand+quinson.2008.simgrid} is a simulation
 framework to study the behavior of large-scale distributed systems.  As its name
 says, it emanates from the grid computing community, but is nowadays used to
 study grids, clouds, HPC or peer-to-peer systems.  The early versions of SimGrid
