Abstract
There is a trend nowadays where each time there are more and more devices around us and all of them need to be connected between them and to the Internet so that the data they provide or the service they offer can be accessed anywhere anytime and the can coordinate between them to achieve a greater goal. Aside from the devices, the other important agents in this environment are the people that move around while the devices monitor their activities. With all this complex environment in mind it becomes clear that the use of simulators to improve it is necessary. In this paper we analyze the communication necessary in our AmI environment simulator composed of an engine, an existing social simulator and an existing network simulator. We also propose a mathematical model for the times of the different messages sent between the simulators.
