Simulated a client/server distributed system with multiple actors that supports registering accounts, subscriptions, sending tweets, querying tweets by hashtags/mentions, re-tweets and live delivery of tweets. Periods of live connection was simulated for up to 3000 users with a Zipf distribution for the number of subscribers.

Twitter Simulator

The project is an implementation of a Twitter Simulator. The problem statement is to implement an engine that (in part II) we paired it up with WebSockets to provide full functionality. The client part (send/receive tweets) and the engine (distribute tweets) were simulated in separate OS processes.
