Patriot is a new framework for testing distributed IoT applications developed in cooperation by Red Hat Czech and Czech Technical University in Prague.
The goal of this thesis is to extend the Patriot framework by adding a data generator used for emulating common IoT devices (sensors, actuators, etc.) in virtualized IoT testing environments. The behaviour of this generator should be configurable based on factors such as data type or probabilistic functions.
As part of the work the student should:

• Analyze existing tools that offers stochastic data simulation.
• Design and implement the generator in an easily extensible way in order to allow the generation based on custom probabilistic functions.

The outcome of this work should keep to the core principles of the Patriot framework, which is to simulate events, including unexpected or damaging situation as close to real life scenarios as possible. The implemented extension should be reviewed and accepted as an official part of the framework by Patriot’s authors.
