Synopsis

Performance of Computer Communication Systems A Model-Based Approach Boudewijn R. Haverkort Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Germany Computer communication systems and distributed systems are now able to provide an increasing range of services. As the timing requirements in the operation of these services are becoming crucial for the global community. performance assessment and selection of communication and distributed systems are, therefore, becoming more important. In this book, the author illustrates the techniques and methods used to evaluate the performance of computer communication systems, thereby covering all aspects of model-based performance evaluation. Unlike other books on this topic, there is no restriction to a particular performance evaluation technique. Notable features in this book include: coverage of all major techniques of performance evaluation non-mathematical problem solving approach, explaining and illustrating performance evaluation techniques assessment techniques for stochastic processes, single server queues, networks of queues and stochastic Petri nets numerous application studies, including token ring systems, client-server systems, and wide-area networks substantial number of practical exercises and examples. For computer or electrical engineers who design and implement computer communication systems, this book provides an excellent overview of the methods and techniques used to construct and solve performance models. It is also a valuable source of information for postgraduate students in computer science and related subjects. Visit Our Web Page! http://www.wiley.com/

About this title

Review

"All the major techniques and methods used to evaluate the performance...of computer communications systems are in this book." (Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 64, No. 3, March 1999)

Synopsis

Computer communication systems, or distributed systems, are now able to perform an increasingly diverse range of functions. This text aims to provide the techniques and methods to evaluate communication systems and ensure their functionality and the quality of their design. It takes a non-mathematical problem-solving approach and includes assessment techniques for: single server queues, networks of queues and stochastic petri nets.
