Launching DMASON

DMASON is built upon four components: an ActiveMQ server, a Web Server, one or more Workers and a Master.

In this tutorial, we’ll setup a DMASON simulation using two workers. Also, we will run all of the component on a single machine, but in a real simulation environment you may want to run the server and every worker on different hosts.
