The project documentation originated from CloudSim was entirely updated and extended. You can see the JavaDoc for classes and their elements directly on your IDE.
The documentation is available online at ReadTheDocs, which includes a FAQ and guides. CloudSim Plus has extended documentation of classes and interfaces and also includes extremely helpful package documentation that can be viewed directly on your IDE or at the link provided above. Such a package documentation gives a general overview of the classes used to build a cloud simulation. Also, check the publications section to access published CloudSim Plus papers.
