Performance And Reliability Analysis Of Computer Systems (an Example-based Approach Using The Sharpe Software

The increasing reliance of today’s society on computers makes the field of performance & reliability evaluation of computer systems increasingly important. Mathematical models of computer systems, that are solved either analytically(numerically) or through discrete event simulation, are used to allow system designers to predict system behavior without having to build or measure the actual system. This book deals with the analytic (numerical) evaluation of performance & reliability measures in such models.
