+sat-rs minisim
+======
+
+This crate contains a mini-simulator based on the open-source discrete-event simulation framework
+[asynchronix](https://github.com/asynchronics/asynchronix).
+
+Right now, this crate is primarily used together with the
+[`satrs-example` application](https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/rust/sat-rs/src/branch/main/satrs-example)
+to simulate the devices connected to the example application.
+
+You can simply run this application using
+
+```sh
+cargo run
+```
+
+or
+
+```sh
+cargo run -p satrs-minisim
+```
+
+in the workspace. The mini simulator uses the UDP port 7303 to exchange simulation requests and
+simulation replies with any other application.
+
+The simulator was designed in a modular way to be scalable and adaptable to other communication
+schemes. This might allow it to serve a mini-simulator for other example applications which
+still have similar device handlers.
