 Welcome to Batmen's documentation!
 ==================================
 
+Batmen is a plugin to the scientific simulator `Batsim <https://batsim.org/>`_.
+It allows the simulation of **users** (bat-men) of large-scale distributed systems.
+
+How does is work?
+-----------------

+   :alt: Batmen diagram
+
+A simulation with Batmen has to be launched in parallel with Batsim.
+
+* Batsim takes care of **simulating the IT platform** (job arrival, job termination, energy consumed...), thanks to the underlying simulator `SimGrid <https://simgrid.org/>`_.
+* Batmen simulates the **users of the system**, through their **job submission behavior**. It also simulates the **scheduler**.
+
+Batmen was developped mainly by Maël Madon during his PhD thesis.
+The most up-to-date description can be found in Chapter II of the thesis manuscript (and more precisely in Section II.2.2).
+It was used to carry scientific experimental campains, leading to several peer-reveiwed publications:
+
+* `Europar'22 <https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12597-3_4>`_: Maël Madon, Georges Da Costa, and Jean-Marc Pierson. *"Characterization of Different User Behaviors for Demand Response in Data Centers"*
+* `FGCS'24 <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2024.01.024>`_: Maël Madon, Georges Da Costa, and Jean-Marc Pierson. *"Replay with Feedback: How Does the Performance of HPC System Impact User Submission Behavior?"*
+* ICT4S'24: Jolyne Gatt, Maël Madon, and Georges Da Costa. *"Digital Sufficiency Behaviors to Deal with Intermittent Energy Sources in a Data Center"*
