NodeJS Master-Slave Simulator

IoT Drivers applications is build based on nodejs which use ZeroMQ as messaging queue using broker-less architecture and pub-sub model. Driver is user interactable (command-line tool), based on the command provided by user driver initiates the requests to simulator. If there is no response from the Simulator, timeout occurs after 3 secs for each request.
