+SimGrid~\cite{casanova+legrand+quinson.2008.simgrid,SimGrid} is a simulation
+framework to sudy 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.
+%- open source, developped since 1999, one of the major solution in the field
+%
+SimGrid provides several programming interfaces: MSG to simulate Concurrent
+Sequential Processes, SimDAG to simulate DAGs of (parallel) tasks, and SMPI to
+run real applications written in MPI~\cite{MPI}.  Apart from the native C
+interface, SimGrid provides bindings for the C++, Java, Lua and Ruby programming
+languages.  The SMPI interface supports applications written in C or Fortran,
+with little or no modifications.
+%- implements most of MPI-2 \cite{ref} standard [CHECK]
+
+%%% explain simulation
+%- simulated processes folded in one real process
+%- simulates interactions on the network, fluid model
+%- able to skip long-lasting computations
+%- traces + visu?
 
-%%% brief history?
-%%% programming interfaces: MSG, SimDAG, SMPI
 %%% platforms
-%%% validation?
+%- describe resources and their interconnection, with their properties
+%- XML files
